“Except for talk radio, liberals pretty much control the culture.”

Look, everybody in journalism has a reputation of sorts.

I admire Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly a lot because I think they’re standup guys.

I didn’t say one negative word about poor people or about middle-class people or anything else. All I said was that the rich deserve our gratitude.

I don’t think liberals in the media are really that much different from liberals outside the media.

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.

Journalists love to show their compassion.

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

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.

Although I was brought up in a culturally and religious conservative culture, as a Baptist I was taught that no one has the right to subpoena your conscience.

Coming up in the African-American culture, we were taught that we belonged to the universe and society was wrong in the way it dealt with us. We had to learn to express and affirm values not from the winning position.

The down side of Americans being obsessed with pop culture is that they kind of like it light.

So then it comes back to whether the suffering and cruelty is justified by its place in a tradition that has deep roots in the culture. At present, the view in Catalonia apparently is that it does not.

Faith, culture, structure and guidance are good things.

So there is a long struggle between the Dar al-Islam and the Dar al-Harb, which in effect was Christendom. This was the perceived enemy. And this has inevitably colored the perception of everything else.

It is true that in this culture, they throw you out when you get older. I see it all the time, especially in my business. At my age, you’re playing somebody’s mother – and there aren’t even a lot of those roles!

New York is the culture capital of the world because people are running into each other on the street all the time. They are forced to engage in creativity and problem-solving.
