People know the facts of a story just as well as the people on TV do, and they have more platforms to hold the media accountable when they don't get it right. We are a world full of media experts. That's a great thing.

We have got to make sure there is proper independent scrutiny and accountability for people in the press, just as there should be in any other industry where things go wrong. But let's not try and think it is for politicians or governments to tell people what they stick in newspapers. That is deeply illiberal.

In the old days, the media is who held people accountable when they lied in politics. That isn't happening anymore.

I think that the press has a duty and an obligation to report on local government, state government, federal government - to be aggressive, to do its job. And its job is to report on whatever it's covering.

I absolutely reject that idea that the press is liberal and what it does is liberal. In my view, it's like accusing a doctor of malpractice or a lawyer of malfeasance.

If there's one thing that everyone can agree on, it's that, right or wrong, they hate the press.

I think it's time for the people and the press, in particular, to be more vigilant about not giving equal weight to lies as they give the truth.

I think the media are so hypocritical a lot of the time in the way they chastise something just so that they can print it again.

What the right-wing in the United States tries to do is undermine the press.
