But I think it's undeniable that the Times is a liberal paper.

I believe the Times is a great newspaper, but a profoundly fallible one.

That first week, I also went to Washington. That was really tough. I sympathize with those Washington figures who have to face 40 Times Washington bureau reporters. They ask hard questions and they're relentless. And they were quite suspicious and quite dubious about me.

It's a very complicated issue about when is a fact not a fact in the context of opinions.

I'm saying that the WMD reporting was not consciously evil. It was bad journalism, even very bad journalism.

I know there are reporters who ridicule pundits.

I'm afraid we'll see reporters stop chasing quotes around the same time dogs stop chasing cars.

Gail didn't want me commenting on the opinion pages. I was hired by the news department and, despite the rabid assertions of the Times' enemies and detractors, the two really have nothing to do with each other.

I was probably being a little cocky, which I do when I feel that I don't know what I'm talking about.

Feed the dogs. I hate to hear them barking like that.

It seems like all the good looking people have smaller dogs these days. Especially for the women, because they always come in with their little Chihuahuas and the guys come in with their Golden Retrievers.
