Excerpts: "The thing that I worry about more is the media’s bias toward fairness. Nobody uses the word *lie* anymore. Suddenly, everything is “a difference of opinion.”... I don’t believe the truth always lies in the middle. I don’t believe there are two sides to every argument. I think the facts are the center. And watching the news abandon the facts in favor of “fairness” is what’s troubling to me."
"With *Sports Night,* it was fairly easy to make up fake news that sounded real. ... With real news, it wasn’t gonna be that easy. ...

[His character] bears no resemblance to [KO]."
