I go on The Daily Beast. The Daily Beast is one of the websites that I check out.

You 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.

I can’t read the newspaper without crying. I’m easily affected by horrible events, you see.

I read the NY Times but I don’t trust all of it.

You 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.

Our 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.

Headlines, in a way, are what mislead you because bad news is a headline, and gradual improvement is not.

I don’t really read a lot of newspapers. I don’t pay attention to what is being said or written about me. I’ve had lots of experiences in the past when I got too much into it. That sort of diverts your focus.

Early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper.

A free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad.

For 18 years I have resisted talking about current events. I am not going to start now.

Tell me, why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognise our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?

September 11 shocked many Americans into an awareness that they had better pay much closer attention to what the U.S. government does in the world and how it is perceived. Many issues have been opened for discussion that were not on the agenda before. That’s all to the good.

I’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.

A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier.

Journalism largely consists of saying ‚Lord Jones is Dead‘ to people who never knew that Lord Jones was alive.

Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets.

It is hard to read a newspaper or watch a television newscast without encountering someone who has come up with a new ‚solution‘ to society’s ‚problems.‘

In 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.

When you’re young, you look at television and think, there’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want.

Today, the news is scandals; that is news, but the many children who don’t have food – that’s not news. This is grave. We can’t rest easy while things are this way.

The money in politics is a cash cow for the media.

We’re news junkies in my house.

It seems the only way to gain attention today is to organize a march and protest something.

In 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.

I became a journalist partly so that I wouldn’t ever have to rely on the press for my information.

We live in ugly times.

I know that if I had a television in my flat I would convince myself that everything on it was really interesting. I would say, ‚I’m a Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here!‘ is so sociologically fascinating that I think I’d better watch.

If 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.

I don’t follow politics much.

Everybody is entertained to death.

We are in the throes of a transition where every publication has to think of their digital strategy.

Newspaper readership is still growing in India.

I’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.

If 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.

The U.S. couldn’t even get rid of Saddam Hussein. And we all know that the EU is just a passing fad. They’ll be killing each other again in less than a year. I’m sick to death of all these fascist lawsuits.

Journalism is popular, but it is popular mainly as fiction. Life is one world, and life seen in the newspapers is another.

I get to hear the really good or the really bad things in the press, but I don’t read it. I can afford to say that because public opinion does not drive U2’s audience.

I prefer to be in a video than to play with it.

There’s a lot of revisionist history that goes on these days about Iraq.

All of the books in the world contain no more information than is broadcast as video in a single large American city in a single year. Not all bits have equal value.

All impeachments, I guess, are political.

Facebook is quite entrenched and has a network effect. It’s hard to break into a network once it’s formed.

I think television has had a vast, unbelievable impact on us.

I don’t think the intelligence reports are all that hot. Some days I get more out of the New York Times.

No 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.

Politically, the world is so confused right now – there’s so much suffering caused by various movements by various parties and people in power in government.

The 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.

I’ve been reading tabloids since I was nine. I love a good story.

People hear about stuff from their friends or a magazine or a newspaper.

If anything, I get most upset because I wanna read a good paper first thing in the morning. And if I see a lie about myself flash across the front of the cover, I don’t think much of the rest of the newspaper.

I’m mainstream.

Many people listen to what I have to say and I appear a lot in media, so therefore I influence a lot of people and therefore I have a bigger responsibility because I have a bigger platform.

In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime.

Ought 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.

I 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.

I live in a crazy time.

His 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.

When you’re faced with an opponent, the media asks the questions, and I answer truthfully. I don’t hold back.

I truly believe that when the history books are written, our age will be remembered for three things: the war on terror, the digital revolution, and what we did – or did not do – to put the fire out in Africa. History, like God, is watching what we do.

I’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.
