I go on The Daily Beast. The Daily Beast is one of the websites that I check out.
Matthew McConaugheyA newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier.
H. L. MenckenI’ve been reading tabloids since I was nine. I love a good story.
Lana Del ReyOught 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 ThatcherPeople hear about stuff from their friends or a magazine or a newspaper.
David ByrneJournalism largely consists of saying ‚Lord Jones is Dead‘ to people who never knew that Lord Jones was alive.
Gilbert K. ChestertonOne Ad is worth more to a paper than forty Editorials.
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 AdamsNewspapers 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 SchopenhauerWith 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. ThompsonThe press is the enemy.
Richard M. NixonWatergate had become the center of the media’s universe, and during the remaining year of my presidency the media tried to force everything else to revolve around it.
Richard M. NixonHeadlines, in a way, are what mislead you because bad news is a headline, and gradual improvement is not.
Bill GatesAll 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 difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read.
Oscar WildeI don’t think the Christian Right dominates America in the way some in the media believe they do.
Billy GrahamThere should be a law that no ordinary newspaper should be allowed to write about art. The harm they do by their foolish and random writing it would be impossible to overestimate – not to the artist, but to the public, blinding them to all but harming the artist not at all.
Oscar WildeWe’re news junkies in my house.
Stephen KingI 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.
BonoWe are all the President’s men.
Henry KissingerI became a journalist partly so that I wouldn’t ever have to rely on the press for my information.
Christopher HitchensI don’t think that my kind of journalism has ever been universally popular. It’s lonely out here.
Hunter S. ThompsonWell, when you come down to it, I don’t see that a reporter could do much to a president, do you?
Dwight D. EisenhowerIf 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 OsteenPeople who read the tabloids deserve to be lied to.
Jerry SeinfeldJournalists are like dogs, when ever anything moves they begin to bark.
Arthur SchopenhauerFortunately, 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 ObamaMany 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.
Greta ThunbergA free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad.
Albert CamusIn America the President reigns for four years, and Journalism governs forever and ever.
Oscar WildeThe most violent show on TV is the six o’clock news.
Mr. TI’ve already become a mastodon in print – I don’t see a consciousness for my kind of journalism.
Hunter S. ThompsonTruthfully, without over-egging it, as I often do, the library and journalism, those things made me who I am.
Terry PratchettThe major networks, the cable networks, they’re being prosecutors. They’re judges and jurors and executioners. Well, c’mon, that’s ridiculous. But they’re doing it.
Ray BradburyI have such respect for ‚Democracy Now!‘
Alice WalkerJournalism keeps you planted in the earth.
Ray BradburyIn 2013, the week before I dropped ‚Crenshaw,‘ ‚Complex‘ wrote an article that said that Nipsey Hussle is one of the top 25 underperforming artists. I was so offended that I responded with my own opinion about these journalists – their point of view is not validated in our culture.
Nipsey HussleOn TV the people can see it. On radio you’ve got to create it.
Bob UeckerNewspaper readership is still growing in India.
Bill GatesYou 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.
DrakeDigital technology allows us a much larger scope to tell stories that were pretty much the grounds of the literary media.
George LucasI became a journalist because one didn’t have to specialise.
Christopher HitchensWhere the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe.
Thomas JeffersonThe smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves – and the better the teacher, the better the student body.
Warren BuffettI was once a journalist. And I think of myself as a journalist, and that’s it. You tell the truth. I even wrote a book called ‚The Truth‘.
Terry PratchettIt’s amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world every day always just exactly fits the newspaper.
Jerry SeinfeldI love great journalism. I appreciate it. I love a good, you know, I love good news stories. I love great books. I love great articles. I appreciate them so much, and they’ve been part of my education as a woman.
Angelina JolieEverybody is entertained to death.
Brian EnoOur 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. JohnsonBy giving us the opinions of the uneducated, journalism keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.
Oscar WildeThe money in politics is a cash cow for the media.
Noam ChomskySometimes negative news does come out, but it is often exaggerated and manipulated to spread scandal. Journalists sometimes risk becoming ill from coprophilia and thus fomenting coprophagia: which is a sin that taints all men and women, that is, the tendency to focus on the negative rather than the positive aspects.
Pope FrancisJournalism is popular, but it is popular mainly as fiction. Life is one world, and life seen in the newspapers is another.
Gilbert K. ChestertonI became a journalist at 17. A few hours later, I saw my first dead body, which was somewhat… colourful. That’s when I learned you can go on throwing up after you run out of things to throw up.
Terry PratchettAll 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.
Carl SaganEarly in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper.
George OrwellJournalism makes you think fast. You have to speak to people in all walks of life. Especially local journalism.
Terry PratchettSure, women sportswriters look when they’re in the clubhouse. Read their stories. How else do you explain a capital letter in the middle of a word?
Bob UeckerI 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.
Brian EnoHis 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 Great
