Bill Keller
I do care if religious doctrine becomes an excuse to exclude my fellow citizens from the rights and protections our country promises.
Bill Keller
Every technology, including the printing press, comes at some price.
Bill Keller
I don't think fairness means that you give equal time to every point of view no matter how marginal. You weigh the sides, you do some truth-testing, you apply judgment to them.
Bill Keller
Being an editor has been a source of great satisfaction, but writing is the thing I truly love.
Bill Keller
Buying an aggregator and calling it a content play is a little like a company's announcing plans to improve its cash position by hiring a counterfeiter.
Bill Keller
I think there's been a decline in the public's access to what's being done with their tax dollars, what's being done in their name. I hope that that will be repaired.
Bill Keller
I make a joke that I'm the Internet curmudgeon, but 'wary' is a good way to put it.
Bill Keller
My dad was an engineer, and he became the CEO of Chevron. His was an engineer's mind-set: Everything's kind of a problem how do you approach the problem?
Bill Keller
