“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.”

We in the press like to say we’re honest brokers of information, and it’s just not true. The press does have an agenda.

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

I don’t believe all rich people are selfless philanthropists.

I have met guys who work the overnight shift at 7-11, selling Slurpees and Camels to insomniacs who have more introspection than a lot of people in the mainstream media.

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.

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.

Liberals are always proposing perfectly insane ideas, laws that will make everybody happy, laws that will make everything right, make us live forever, and all be rich. Conservatives are never that stupid.

Liberals have invented whole college majors – psychology, sociology and women’s studies – to prove that nothing is anybody’s fault.

The word liberal distinguishes whatever nourishes the mind and spirit from the training which is merely practical or professional or from the trivialities which are no training at all.

The liberal psyche wants to protect minorities, to apologize for imperialism, colonialism, slavery, and the appalling treatment of black people during the civil rights movement. At the same time, they want to continue to defend the rights of individuals.

Islam is not a race. Islam is simply a set of beliefs, and it is not ‘Islamophobic’ to say Islam is incompatible with liberal democracy.

Any education that matters is liberal. All the saving truths, all the healing graces that distinguish a good education from a bad one or a full education from a half empty one are contained in that word.

Liberal capitalism is not perfect, but compared to the other ‘isms,’ it’s far superior.

I call myself a liberal – a classical liberal as in John Stuart Mill.
