A basic rule of life for reporters is that you should spend your time talking with and learning about people who are not sending you press releases, rather than those who are.
James Fallows
Up or out greatly magnified the careerist emphasis on holding a position rather than doing a job.
James Fallows
The amazing thing about Trump is that he is so completely predictable. Hillary Clinton knows that if she teases him about either his wealth, his taxes, the women who are coming after him or his preposterous claims of being against the Iraq war, he cannot resist.
James Fallows
There's no longer any surprise in noting that China has grave environmental problems.
James Fallows
I have relentlessly beat the drum for Google's 'two-step' authentication systems for Gmail and other services, which radically reduce the likelihood that your account can be hacked from afar.
James Fallows
For the record, I am sticking with my claim that the simultaneous degradation of air quality, water quality, water supply, food safety, soil quality, and other environment-related variables is the main challenge to China's continued development.
James Fallows
Racial prejudice boils down to the deeply anti-American message that some people are born to fail.
James Fallows
We're now in one of those periods when the reality of intense pressure on the middle class diverges from long-held assumptions of how the American bargain should work
James Fallows
Societies are healthiest when their radius of trust is broad and when people feel they can influence their own fate.

I am about as pro-Google a person as you're going to find in the media. I've had friends at all levels of the company since its founding, and still do now.
James Fallows
The demise of Google Reader, if logical, is a reminder of how far we've come from the cuddly old 'I'm Feeling Lucky' Google days, in which there was a foreseeably-astonishing delight in the way Google's evolving design tricks anticipated what users would like.
James Fallows
No one ever really 'learns' from history, because choices never present themselves in exactly the same way, and because you can always choose similarities and differences to fit current needs.
James Fallows
In a time of transition for journalism all around the world, it's reassuring to know that some of the old ways endure.
James Fallows
The pandering and ignorance-across-party-lines represented by the John McCain-Hillary Clinton united front for a temporary reduction in the gasoline tax should make Americans hold their heads in their hands and moan [...] Please. This is embarrassing. It makes me long for the good old days of debating about flag pins on the lapel.
James Fallows
I don't think anybody who is already with Donald Trump is going to be peeled off by his not knowing about NATO or why Japan does not have nuclear weapons, or things of that sort.
James Fallows
Always write angry letters to your enemies. Never mail them.
James Fallows
The whole point of constitutional democracy is the peaceful transfer of power of Al Gore passing the baton to George W. Bush, even though that election was very suspiciously called.
James Fallows
Contrary to what you might think, China's economy is relatively less efficient, and more polluting, than those of rich countries.
James Fallows
It seems to be the case that for the people who actually are all in with Donald Trump - which is who knows: 35, 38, 40 per cent of the electorate - apparently nothing can dissuade them.
James Fallows
Everyone moans about the collapsing U.S. infrastructure.
