The most violent show on TV is the six o’clock news.
Mr. TOur most tragic error may have been our inability to establish a rapport and a confidence with the press and television with the communication media. I don’t think the press has understood me.
Lyndon B. JohnsonI don’t think the Christian Right dominates America in the way some in the media believe they do.
Billy GrahamYou can never get all the facts from just one newspaper, and unless you have all the facts, you cannot make proper judgements about what is going on.
Harry S. TrumanPeople who read the tabloids deserve to be lied to.
Jerry SeinfeldI’m a singer, not a politician, and I think you don’t want the two to get confused. It’s not OK to be on CNN talking about people starving and then tell the interviewer that your new album is coming out in six months.
BonoEverybody is entertained to death.
Brian EnoHeadlines, in a way, are what mislead you because bad news is a headline, and gradual improvement is not.
Bill GatesNo matter how bad any situation, cynicism has no positive impact. Watching the news, you might notice that cynicism and victimhood often seem to go hand-in-hand, but not for veterans.
Jim MattisWe are in the throes of a transition where every publication has to think of their digital strategy.
Bill GatesMichael Jordan changed so much in basketball, he took his power to make a difference. It’s so much going on in music right now and somebody has to make a difference.
Kanye WestI read in the newspapers they are going to have 30 minutes of intellectual stuff on television every Monday from 7:30 to 8. to educate America. They couldn’t educate America if they started at 6:30.
Groucho MarxIn karting, in the European races, you have the cameras and the film crews and you do interviews. At around 13 I’d already started doing bit of media and it just increases more and more with every level you take, especially when you get into cars – and when you hit F1 it’s an even higher step up. It’s something you get used to over time.
Lando NorrisThe last person I have ever criticized is an official. They have a tough job to do. Things are happening so quick.
Tom BradyI became a journalist partly so that I wouldn’t ever have to rely on the press for my information.
Christopher HitchensWith the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms.
Hunter S. ThompsonYou have to have really wide reading habits and pay attention to the news and just everything that’s going on in the world: you need to. If you get this right, then the writing is a piece of cake.
Terry PratchettFour hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets.
Napoleon BonaparteJournalism is popular, but it is popular mainly as fiction. Life is one world, and life seen in the newspapers is another.
Gilbert K. ChestertonIn the case of news, we should always wait for the sacrament of confirmation.
VoltaireIf people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly.
Thomas SowellHis father is governor of Media, and though he has the greatest command given him of all the rest of my generals, he still covetously desires more, and my being without issue spurs him on to this wicked design. But Philotas takes wrong measures.
Alexander the GreatA newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier.
H. L. MenckenSadly, of course, there is real evil in the world. You watch the news, and you see all of the people suffering and so much cruelty.
Angelina JolieYou do get certain publications in the States where, if things don’t go according to plan, they flip the story and it becomes very negative.
DrakeAll I know is just what I read in the papers, and that’s an alibi for my ignorance.
Will RogersThe press is the hired agent of a monied system, and set up for no other purpose than to tell lies where their interests are involved. One can trust nobody and nothing.
Henry AdamsIt’s amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world every day always just exactly fits the newspaper.
Jerry SeinfeldI’m not besotted with the notion of being on CNN to the point that I’m going to suddenly morph into Anderson Cooper or Christiane Amanpour. I’m not a foreign correspondent.
Anthony BourdainAll in all, I just don’t trust journalists – and I don’t think it’s a good practice for me to trust journalists.
Frank OceanThe money in politics is a cash cow for the media.
Noam ChomskyI’m not a reality-TV kind of guy. But it’s almost like we’re living in a reality show. Every day in this country, everybody keeps worrying about the deterioration of America, and it’s like a big reality show.
Clint EastwoodEarly in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper.
George OrwellI think television has had a vast, unbelievable impact on us.
Billy GrahamFortunately, we have help from the media. I have to say this: I’m very grateful for the support and kindness that we’ve gotten. People have respected their privacy and in that way, I think, you know, no matter what people may feel about my husband’s policies or what have you, they care about children and that’s been good to see.
Michelle ObamaOn TV the people can see it. On radio you’ve got to create it.
Bob UeckerOught we not to ask the media to agree among themselves a voluntary code of conduct, under which they would not say or show anything which could assist the terrorists‘ morale or their cause while the hijack lasted.
Margaret ThatcherWe’re news junkies in my house.
Stephen KingI read the NY Times but I don’t trust all of it.
David ByrneJournalists are like dogs, when ever anything moves they begin to bark.
Arthur SchopenhauerWe live in ugly times.
David ByrneI’m mainstream.
The WeekndI pay attention to politics and technology.
Nipsey HussleI don’t think the intelligence reports are all that hot. Some days I get more out of the New York Times.
John F. KennedyI prefer to be in a video than to play with it.
Karl LagerfeldI have to admit I’ve found myself doing the same things that a lot of other rock stars do or are forced to do. Which is not being able to respond to mail, not being able to keep up on current music, and I’m pretty much locked away a lot. The outside world is pretty foreign to me.
Kurt CobainI don’t even know what the issues are. I haven’t paid attention to politics in a long time. It’s actually not something that I really even enjoy. It’s way off my radar.
Tom BradyIn a summer marked by instability in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, I know the world also took notice of the small American city of Ferguson, Missouri – where a young man was killed, and a community was divided. So yes, we have our own racial and ethnic tensions.
Barack ObamaNewspapers are the second hand of history. This hand, however, is usually not only of inferior metal to the other hands, it also seldom works properly.
Arthur SchopenhauerJournalism largely consists of saying ‚Lord Jones is Dead‘ to people who never knew that Lord Jones was alive.
Gilbert K. ChestertonThe atom bombs are piling up in the factories, the police are prowling through the cities, the lies are streaming from the loudspeakers, but the earth is still going round the sun.
George OrwellI don’t follow politics much.
Vivienne WestwoodThe press is the enemy.
Richard M. NixonOne Ad is worth more to a paper than forty Editorials.
Will RogersI try to read as much as I can. I try to read an informative article every day. I try to stay read up on our world issues.
Taylor SwiftIf I’d written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people – including me – would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.
Hunter S. ThompsonIf Jesus were here today, he wouldn’t be riding around on a donkey. He’d be taking a plane, he’d be using the media.
Joel OsteenWhen you’re faced with an opponent, the media asks the questions, and I answer truthfully. I don’t hold back.
Conor McGregorPeople hear about stuff from their friends or a magazine or a newspaper.
David ByrneDigital technology allows us a much larger scope to tell stories that were pretty much the grounds of the literary media.
George Lucas
