With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms.

Not everybody is comfortable with the idea that politics is a guilty addiction. But it is.

Too often we… enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.

I am such a political person.

A difference of opinion is what makes horse racing and missionaries.

I supported Donald Trump.

Anybody that doesn’t like Cardi B a hater!

I get to hear the really good or the really bad things in the press, but I don’t read it. I can afford to say that because public opinion does not drive U2’s audience.

You know why Foo Fighters have been a band for 20 years? Because I’ve never really told anybody what I think of them. The last thing you ever want to do is go to therapy with your band.

Truthfully, without over-egging it, as I often do, the library and journalism, those things made me who I am.

Errors of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it.

I sent out a tweet, ‚Dancing with the Stars‘ should stop the jibber jabber. They shouldn’t make the departure of a dancer so tear jerky because nobody’s going to war.

The minority is sometimes right; the majority always wrong.

Love is an emotion that is based on an opinion of women that is impossible for those who have had any experience with them.

Atlas was permitted the opinion that he was at liberty, if he wished, to drop the Earth and creep away; but this opinion was all that he was permitted.

It is necessary to look at the results of observation objectively, because you, the experimenter, might like one result better than another.

I’ve already become a mastodon in print – I don’t see a consciousness for my kind of journalism.

I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.

I pay attention to politics and technology.

Obamacare sucks, it can’t be fixed.

David Beckham has never impressed me.

Half a truth is better than no politics.

I believe in universal health care. And I am not afraid to say so.

It’s a nice reader, but there’s nothing on the iPad I look at and say, ‚Oh, I wish Microsoft had done it.‘

‚Love Story‘ is actually about a guy that I almost dated. But when I introduced him to my family and my friends, they all said they didn’t like him. All of them!

Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance.

We are all the President’s men.

The universe is transformation: life is opinion.

I don’t watch it, but I know enough to comment on it.

I was once a journalist. And I think of myself as a journalist, and that’s it. You tell the truth. I even wrote a book called ‚The Truth‘.

One Ad is worth more to a paper than forty Editorials.

Here’s what I think about music and journalism: The most important thing is to just press play.

I became a journalist because one didn’t have to specialise.

The press is the hired agent of a monied system, and set up for no other purpose than to tell lies where their interests are involved. One can trust nobody and nothing.

Not only do I think being nice and kind is easy but being kind, in my opinion, is important.

Opinion is like a pendulum and obeys the same law. If it goes past the centre of gravity on one side, it must go a like distance on the other; and it is only after a certain time that it finds the true point at which it can remain at rest.

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.

I don’t think the government should be in the trailer-park business. I don’t think they know how to run a trailer park.

We have no right to express an opinion until we know all of the answers.

Journalists are like dogs, when ever anything moves they begin to bark.

You will always have partial points of view, and you’ll always have the story behind the story that hasn’t come out yet. And any form of journalism you’re involved with is going to be up against a biased viewpoint and partial knowledge.

I think television has had a vast, unbelievable impact on us.

Everybody is entertained to death.

With all due respect, I am against dumb.

I sincerely believe… that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies.

Perhaps, after all, America never has been discovered. I myself would say that it had merely been detected.

Politics and the pulpit are terms that have little agreement.

I think the idea of art kills creativity.

The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves – and the better the teacher, the better the student body.

I personally never expected anything of Obama, and wrote about it before the 2008 primaries. I thought it was smoke and mirrors.

When ‚Paul’s Boutique‘ came out, I was one of the fans that didn’t get it.

Writers are lampposts and critics are dogs. Ask lampposts what they think about dogs. Does the dog hurt the lamppost?

I read the NY Times but I don’t trust all of it.

On TV the people can see it. On radio you’ve got to create it.

It is hard to read a newspaper or watch a television newscast without encountering someone who has come up with a new ‚solution‘ to society’s ‚problems.‘

All in all, I just don’t trust journalists – and I don’t think it’s a good practice for me to trust journalists.

I became a journalist partly so that I wouldn’t ever have to rely on the press for my information.

Journalism is popular, but it is popular mainly as fiction. Life is one world, and life seen in the newspapers is another.

I have never thought it necessary to patronize the American people.

I just didn’t want to get out there anymore; I didn’t want to get back into what I call ‚the swamp.‘ And the other reason why is I don’t think it’s good for the presidency for a former president to be opining about his successor. President Obama’s got plenty of critics – and I’m just not gonna be one.

Right after 9-11, as far as I know, one newspaper in the United States had the integrity to investigate opinion in the Muslim world: the ‚Wall Street Journal.‘
