> Whether Fox News is an expression of his political views: “Yes! No! Yes and no. The commentators are not. Bill O’Reilly certainly not. Geraldo Rivera certainly not. But Brit Hume and his team on the nightly news? Yes. They play it absolutely straight!”
> CNN: “CNN is pretty consistently on the left, if you look at their choice of stories, what they play up. It’s not what they say. It’s what they highlight.”
> Does Fox lean to the right? “If you look at our general news, do we put on things which favor the right rather than the left? I don’t know… We don’t think we do. We’ve always insisted we don’t. I don’t think we do. Aw, it’s subjective. Neither side admits it.”
