David Brock quotes:

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.

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

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

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

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

Eventually the story would spill over into the regular media.

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

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

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.

Im a former, living, breathing, right-wing conspirator.

When I wrote the Anita Hill book I believed everything I wrote was accurate.

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

Ive been interested in watching the level of conservative misinformation that circulates through the media.

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

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.

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.

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.

The campaign of character assassination waged [against President Clinton] by the right was a singular, unprecedented effort. Nothing like it exists on the left. What I object to on the right is the obsessive hatred, the bigotry, and the personal savaging of their opponents, all achieved through an echo chamber of talk radio, the Internet and Rupert Murdoch's media outlets. That kind of well-funded disinformation campaign has no analog on the left.

Being right doesnâ??t mean you win. You win by establishing credibility, a relationship, and trust.

Courage, I now see, is a journey involving self-doubt and self-examination, with the end never in sight.
