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

I know real people, whose names I could tell you, people I know who have said “I’ve stopped buying the New York Times.” Why? Because their editorial position has filtered, has leached into the news pages.

I mean, I think everybody realizes that calling people racist is a waste of time, nobody buys it anymore.

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.

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.

I can imagine no greater misfortune for a cultured people than to see in the hands of the rulers not only the civil, but also the religious power.

Style … is a peculiar recasting and heightening, under a certain condition of spiritual excitement, of what a man has to say, in such a manner as to add dignity and distinction to it.

For poetry the idea is everything; the rest is a world of illusion, of divine illusion. Poetry attaches its emotion to the idea; the idea is the fact. The strongest part of our religion today is its unconscious poetry.

Culture looks beyond machinery, culture hates hatred; culture has one great passion, the passion for sweetness and light.

Culture is properly described as the love of perfection; it is a study of perfection.

If an historian be an unbeliever in all heroism, if he be a man who brings every thing down to the level of a common mediocrity, depend upon it, the truth is not found in such a writer.

Commercial rock ‘n’ roll music is a brutalization of the stream of contemporary Negro church music an obscene looting of a cultural expression.

I think that we need to change the culture, not blame the people that are playing the only game that exists.
