“Journalists love to show their compassion.”

The big 3 networks don’t like the fact that there’s a Rush Limbaugh out there, they don’t like the fact that there’s a Fox News, they don’t like the fact that there’s a Matt Drudge. They liked it when it was nice, when it was just the three of them. Well, it ain’t that way anymore.

As a matter of fact, you know, Jesus probably would be, except for one or two issues, a liberal Democrat if he were around today.

The evening news is a concept whose time has come and gone.

A lot of so-called rich, according to this legislation, make $250,000. That’s a lot of money, but it is not rich.

The most meaningless term in the English language is “I take full responsibility.” When a politician utters those words it means absolutely nothing.

Circumstantial evidence is evidence.

You know, I was at CBS News for 28 years. I may have run an unidentified source. Frankly, I don’t remember.

Try to imagine an America without rich people. Rich people contribute a lot to this country.

Bill Maher fancies himself the reincarnation of Lenny Bruce.

I respect the Kennedy family. I respect their service. They do a tremendous amount of good. You don’t blame the children for the sins of the father and all of that.

I’ve never seen class warfare as nasty as it is today, as a result of tax debate.

There’s a kind of journalistic narcissism that New York-based journalists are guilty of.

I said that liberals think people who live in the middle of the country are a bunch of jerks, and obviously all liberals don’t think that. But I will tell you what, an awful lot of liberal elites think that.

You don’t smear somebody as a racist when there is obviously nothing there.

No, we don’t sit around in dark corners and plan strategies on how we’re going to slant the news. We don’t have to. It comes naturally to most reporters.

I worked with these liberal elites for 28 years at CBS News, and they were always throwing around the term ‘white trash,’ by which they meant poor southerners who didn’t go to Harvard. I’m not sure why that makes them trash.

New York waiters, probably the surliest in the Western world . . . are better images of their city than that journalistic favorite the taxi driver.

Serious journalists often imagine society is adrift because people don’t know certain things.

I’ve been a lavatory attendant, a theatre usher, a panhandler, all for real. Now, as an actor, I can be a journalist today and a brain surgeon tomorrow. That’s the stuff my dreams are made of.

I’ve had journalists asking me, ‘What do we call you – is it handicapped, are you disabled, physically challenged?’

I spend a lot of time talking to journalists.

It depends on the journalist, it depends how much information they have about the case and which perspective they are asking you from. All of these things can play a role.

Because it’s up to the journalist not only to understand what I’m trying to convey, but to convey that understanding through their process.

I don’t think there’s any question journalists have become targets, but then I think that – that anyone who tries to practice liberty becomes a target of fanatics.
