PONNURU QUOTES

“When I first became interested in politics, in high school, I tended toward liberalism. But I was cured of that well before I became an adult.” (IgnatiusInsight.com)

“Liberal reporters just don’t see it (media bias) in the same way that fish don’t know they’re wet.” (HumanEvents.com)

“Sometimes I like to think that I’m changing people’s minds, as when I enter various intra-conservative debates. At other times I assume readers already believe the same general things I do, but provide some information they had not had or an argument they had not thought of.” ( Columbia Journalism Review)
