Some quotes from Truthdig.org co-founder and former Los Angeles Times columnist Robert Scheer:
* "The amazing thing to me is that a significant percentage of what I've written has turned out to be valid. I'm one of these guys who gets up at four in the morning after I've handed in a column, thinking that I got it all wrong. ... I don't trust myself any more than I trust the politicians I write about."
*  Re the conservatives he admires: "Tony Blankley seems to be a thoughtful fellow. Then there’s David Brooks at the New York Times, and [David] Frum; they're both guys I respect."
* "Ever since I was at Ramparts, where I started, I never really made a decision about whether I was alternative or mainstream."
