CNN and MSNBC, our primary competitors, are trying to figure out how to beat us. There are some good, smart people at those networks, and even occasionally a blind pig finds an acorn.
David Dinkins was a financial disaster personally - and as an administrator. That is what the record shows.
If somebody wants to book Alec Baldwin on one of our shows, and he wants to come on and talk to our people and say what he wants, I don't care. We would question him on his choice of words.
I happen to think that the Latino audience is an essentially traditional audience and will go to Fox News for traditional American values.
I have a soft spot for Joe Biden. I like him. But he's dumb as an ashtray.
Growing up in Ohio and just being kind of an average guy from flyover country - my dad was a factory guy - I try to put things on a screen that reflect reality. I don't mind if people want to argue with that, or think that's crazy.

I know there are limits to what a coach can accomplish in improving speechmaking unless the subject is a diligent student of himself.
I don't remember threatening anybody, ever. I don't like threats. I don't respond well to them, so I don't give them. But I'm not a doormat. I try to meet the appropriate level of communications.
I don't have any focus groups on talent and programming. If I need five people in a mall to be paid $40 to tell me how to do my job, I shouldn't do my job.
We're losing our freedom of speech. We are losing freedom of religion. We are losing freedom of the press.
Joe McGinniss will be remembered as a talented man. He changed political writing forever in 1968. We differed on many things, but he had a good heart.
Hispanics who get on government programs are doing only a little better than they were in the old country.
The reality is, to watch Jon Stewart, you already have to have watched the news. In other words, it's not funny if he does a joke about John McCain and they don't know who John McCain is.
We didn't have locks in the early 1940s because nobody got into anybody's house, and nobody did anything wrong.
