You get to a point where the factual adjudication doesn't matter because there are all these other outlets that are far less responsible, all talking about the ad, some of which have a political reason for promoting it.

It's all a sham: I have seen, and I know firsthand, indeed from my own pen, how the organized Right has sabotaged not only journalism but also democracy and truth.

I've been interested in watching the level of conservative misinformation that circulates through the media.

Eventually the story would spill over into the regular media.

All of these attacks on Secretary Clinton, at the end of the day, are character attacks.

At the end of the day, I think Donald Trump will be the great unifier of the Democratic Party.

Certainly going back to 2008 during the primary, Secretary Clinton was subjected to various forms of sexism - overt, subtle - that were detrimental. Fortunately, Senator Obama was not subjected to something similar; the culture seemed to tolerate sexism and not racism. We ought not tolerate either.

Criticizing Fox News has nothing to do with criticizing the press. Fox News is not a news organization. It is the de facto leader of the GOP, and it is long past time that it is treated as such by the media, elected officials and the public.

Donald Trump intimidated the press and bullied the press.

During the '90s the flow of misinformation was established.

Editors of conservative magazines aren't out trying to raise money. The money is there; the cash reserves are in the bank.

Fox prefers to focus on people who are doing bad - especially if they're Democrats, or environmentalists.

Hillary Clinton's loss has exposed the lack of Democratic power in this country at all levels.

I became a conservative for the first dozen years of my professional life in Berkeley, Calif., and it was a reaction against political correctness, so I get it.

I didn't say a bad thing about 'Politico' in my book.

I didn't wake up one day and say, you know, 'Supply-side economics doesn't make sense.'

I don't think the candidate would be directly responsible for things that their supporters say, but when it gets to a certain level, they ought to say, 'Cut it out.'

I made the apologies that needed to be made, and so I didn't feel that Media Matters was a continuing form of saying I was sorry.

I think the Democratic Party has to learn how to be a party of opposition.

I think the Republicans are trying to learn from their mistakes about attacks on women because the women's vote will backfire.

I want an audience that's passionate, that can be engaged.

I want to have a media platform that is an honest broker and not just a mouthpiece for a political party.

I was a bad journalist.

I'm a former, living, breathing, right-wing conspirator.

I'm an incredibly hard worker, I'm incredibly tenacious, and I'm incredibly detail-oriented.

I'm comfortable on the progressive side. But I'm still more pitched at fighting the Right than I am about building a progressive platform for the future. It's fair to say that that conversation doesn't interest me as much.

I'm kind of a builder of institutions. I think I've got some ability to look at what's out here, look at a playing field, and identify gaps and niches.

If I was a political mercenary, I would be using my talents in another line of work.

Ignorance can be improved; willful ignorance and inaction is inexcusable.

It's not a vast right-wing conspiracy. It's a right-wing conglomerate. It's more sophisticated, it's well-financed, it's well known.

It's very important to understand that the 'Talk' piece was not an excerpt, it was an adaptation, which means I compressed different parts of the book and made a new piece.

Money is money.

Nobody ever said that Hillary's nomination would be unopposed or would be something that was foreordained.

Once you apologize, then the press wants you to get down on your knees and say you're sorry. They are not appeasable.

Progressives are not going to give up on facts.

Progressives want a different sort of media than what the Right wants.

Republicans tend to be more steadfast in their allegiance, and Democrats read one headline in the 'New York Times,' and the sky is suddenly falling.

The people who know Ted Cruz best despise him, including his former college roommate.

The press are animals, and they need to be treated that way.

The pro-Hillary groups needed to quit fighting each other and get down to business fighting Republicans.

The right can distort anything it wants.

The truth is that the more responsible the media outlet, the more responsive they are to constructive criticism.

There was a slow-motion swift boating of Hillary Clinton in '15.

There's certainly an attitude in some measure of the conservative movement that I believe won't accept the legitimacy of any Democratic president, and I think Obama did fall victim to that - witness the 'birthers.'

There's every financial incentive in the world to stay in the conservative movement forever.

Trump apologized for nothing, including the horrible tape, right? No apology.

We all know liberals and Democrats who look down on certain people, and there is such a thing as P.C.

We have a moral responsibility to stand up to Donald Trump, and that's what we're going to do.
