I have a liberal definition of news because I think news can be what excites people. I'm not very sanctimonious about what news is and isn't.

The reporting of news has to be understood as propaganda for commodities, and events by images.

Is the New York Times a Liberal Newspaper? Of course it is.

If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly.

I think in politics, in Congress, you often do things that are Republican, or you do things because you're a Democrat. Sometimes that's good, obviously, and sometimes that's obviously bad. But in the news business, there's no such thing as Republican or Democratic news. News is news.

There is a huge difference between journalism and advertising. Journalism aspires to truth. Advertising is regulated for truth. I'll put the accuracy of the average ad in this country up against the average news story any time.

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.

The biases the media has are much bigger than conservative or liberal. They're about getting ratings, about making money, about doing stories that are easy to cover.

If you look up the definition of news in the dictionary, it isn't what you watch on TV.

Political commercials encourage the deceptive, the destructive and the degrading.
