“Don’t pretend to be a journalist if you’re not a journalist.”

We need to build a beautiful granite and bronze monument in our nation’s capital to honor American heroes, unsung American heroes. And those unsung American heroes are the rich.

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.

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.

So, here you are, especially in the Pentagon. Some guy tells you something. He says that’s a national security matter. Well, you’re supposed to tremble and get scared and it never, almost never means the security of the national government.

The whole ‘grunge-girl’ comparisons certainly are the easiest to pick out, and I appreciate that music journalists are rushed.

I had rather be called a journalist than an artist.

It’s silly to say that with a journalist, but sometimes there is not a truth to be found.

My dad was very successful as a journalist, so I didn’t want to be one. I wanted to be a novelist.

I know more than most journalists. I know more than most columnists on big, important newspapers.

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.
