"Who would want to win an award that is dished out by the hard left of American journalism?" says

* "
Rupert [Murdoch] is a very fine journalist. You can take any person on a newspaper -- anyone -- and he can do their job. He's simply a gifted journalist."
* "I don't take freebies. ...I took my family to the Bahamas for a holiday, and it cost me $23,000. What's free?"
