We have a moral responsibility to stand up to Donald Trump, and that's what we're going to do.
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.
Progressives want a different sort of media than what the Right wants.
If I was a political mercenary, I would be using my talents in another line of work.
When I founded Media Matters, there was another model, which would have been to call this the Brock Report. But I was much less interested in my own profile by that point, because I had already done that once, and it was not terribly fulfilling at the end of the day.
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'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.
Money is money.
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.
Nobody ever said that Hillary's nomination would be unopposed or would be something that was foreordained.
Trump apologized for nothing, including the horrible tape, right? No apology.
The press are animals, and they need to be treated that way.
Hillary Clinton's loss has exposed the lack of Democratic power in this country at all levels.
The people who know Ted Cruz best despise him, including his former college roommate.
What led to my change of views about the Clintons was working through the research and writing on the book on Hillary.
I didn't say a bad thing about 'Politico' in my book.
Aside from Donald Trump, the Clintons are the best for ratings and click-throughs.
If you want to keep the relationships you have, it's best not to talk about them.
I have conservative relatives. I maintain some relationships with some conservatives going back to the 1990s... Not in any meaningful way.
