From the New York Times article announcing that Jill Abramson is replacing Bill Keller as the paper's executive editor:

"In my house growing up, The Times substituted for religion,” she said. “If The Times said it, it was the absolute truth."

Josh Trevino of the Texas Public Policy Foundation quips on twitter, "Abramson's quote is the most chilling anecdote on bad parenting I've heard in a while."
