Joe Wilson Quotes

Clearly, you can't believe everything you read in the press.

I have learned that it is just as well to avoid even the appearance of something which you prefer not to have published as a fact! So many things are published as facts in any case which have no foundation in them whatsoever, that I don't suppose it really matters!

If you believe everything you read, better not read.

A journalists's job is not to be balanced. It is to be accurate.

Before speaking without knowledge, saying lies, you have to present evidence.

When there are falsehoods and ludicrous statements made at briefings, we've got to call that out.

If you are a journalist, check and double-check your sources. Don't just swallow what politicians tell you.

CNN is in the business of sussing out what is true and what is false.

Falsehood flies, and the truth comes limping after it.

I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are.
