Brian Stelter Quotes

Because I have an opinion, I have become public enemy number one to the Fox News Channel and the right wing.

If I'm going to turn on the television, it's going to be the Fox News channel.

You can debate when the conservative movement became a racket - I nominate 1996, the year Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes created Fox News Channel to monetize right-wing outrage - but there is no doubt it has long since passed that point.

I think that 'Fox News' is fair and balanced.

There are more conservatives on Fox. But we are not a conservative network.

I mean it's - it is hard to find a voice on talk radio that is not a conservative voice.

MSNBC will never be as liberal as Fox is conservative.

Conservatives don't want to read good, smart books. They mostly want to read Fox and talk radio hosts writing about presidents.

Depending on what state you live in, you may only have right-wing talk radio and FOX or CBN with MSNBC three hundred channels down the dial.

I don't think I'm an angry person. I think I'm a person who's angry. I'm angry at the Bush administration; I'm angry at the right wing media. And by that I don't mean the media is right wing. I mean, there is a part of the media that's not the mainstream media. That's Fox, that is 'The Wall Street Journal' editorial page.

I'm a right-wing pundit and have been for many years.

The reason that conservative talk radio works is because there is an audience for it.

These right wing talk radio show hosts can’t even deliver a pizza, much less a Presidential nomination.

Conservatives have the advantage of knowing how to debate each other on issues, principles, and priorities, and that is where they should engage Trump.

Fox News is really two news networks. It's a center right news network that has good, solid, interesting coverage if you're watching Chris Wallace or the panel on 'Special Report' or anything like that. Then, it has what Hannity and others like him do, which is just a sort of tribal identity politics for older white people.

The right-wingness of Fox is basically the news channel. I don't think the broadcast network has any politics at all. It's sub-political at best.

I think that Fox News is a bit schizophrenic.

The media doesn't understand conservatives at all.

RT did not support Trump.

What Fox News has become in 2020 is a conclusion of decades of right wing media and rhetoric against the rest of the media. In the '90s it was about media bias. In the 2000s it was about media bias. Now, the rhetoric is so much more extreme. It's about enemies of the people.

Liberal talk on the radio doesn't perform well because it is not a sequestered to a niche - it's everywhere in the media universe. Conservative talk radio, on the other hand, performs well because the radio is the only place, besides Fox News, that people can go for right-sphere opinions.

The questions I get invariably focus on Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity. It's no secret Hannity is conservative, and O'Reilly certainly is not a liberal. Beck goes well beyond conservatism to some very strange places.

At least when right-wingers rant there's a point.

People tune in to the Fox News Channel because it was founded on the premise that all sides should be presented fairly. This has upset the 'media establishment' but has made Fox the most powerful name in the news. I'm proud that Hannity & Colmes has contributed to this success, an achievement that has been often dissected by liberal media pundits who argue that Sean is more aggressive than I am and therefore dominates the show.
