thinking decision made
I think the worst decision is usually no decision. If you make the wrong decision you can usually course-correct, but if you don't make it, you've already made it, and it's usually the bad one.
integrity people excellence
You can get people the qualifications; But you can't teach them the qualities they're going to need. You can't teach integrity, a drive for excellence, refusal to quit under pressure. It's too late to build that into people you're going to hire.
people might looks
The thing you always have to remember is, you look at people and they might look like a failure but there's often a narrow thing they do very well.
fashion guy american-history
There was no news in the Dan Rather piece. They didn't say [to Bush]: "We found a piece of paper that was overlooked in the 300,000 pieces of paper that were covered in the Iran-Contra hearings, and we have a piece of news we'd like to ask you about." CBS decided to create a media event and cover it in its own fashion. This was unprecedented in American history. CBS cancelled two-thirds of the newscast... to get a guy and take him out.
views media bullshit
Most of the media bullshit you about who they are. We don’t. We’re not programming to conservatives, we’re just not eliminating their point of view.
mean mad people
I can't stand cruel people. And if I see people doing something mean to somebody else just to make themselves feel important, it really gets me mad.
philosophy fighting socialism
Capitalism works. In the end, socialism imploded on itself. Communism imploded on itself. Ultimately jihadism will implode on itself, if we stay in the fight and stay on offense because failed philosophies don't work, there's no future.
When the media gets into creating their own product and then deciding to cover it, they are becoming part of the process and, therefore, could be damaged.
als faces foxes
The candidates that can’t face Fox, can’t face al Qaeda.
coaching news documentaries
I've been in entertainment, politics, business, business coaching, public affairs, documentaries, programming, news, theater. So, there aren't many things I see that I haven't seen something like that before.
together television grew
Television and I grew up together.
dumb biden spots
I have a soft spot for Joe Biden. I like him. But he’s dumb as an ashtray.
hate book america
You can't sell a book in America if you don't dump on Bush. That's the cheapest shot in the world. You cannot get an advance, and you can't sell a book because the publishers are all people who hate Bush and hate Republicans.
earth scorched-earth
I only understand friendship or scorched earth.
