We’re news junkies in my house.

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.‘

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.

Information is the oxygen of the modern age. It seeps through the walls topped by barbed wire, it wafts across the electrified borders.

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

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.

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

I’m not searching for hard news; I’m not a journalist, but I’m interested in pushing to boundaries of where we can do the kind of stories that we want to do. I mean, it’s a big world and CNN has made it a lot bigger and they haven’t flinched.

It’s a fact that more people watch television and get their information that way than read books. I find new technology and new ways of communication very exciting and would like to do more in this field.

I used to think information was destroyed in black hole. This was my biggest blunder, or at least my biggest blunder in science.

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.

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

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.

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

The last person I have ever criticized is an official. They have a tough job to do. Things are happening so quick.

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.

Prices are important not because money is considered paramount but because prices are a fast and effective conveyor of information through a vast society in which fragmented knowledge must be coordinated.

Animation offers a medium of story telling and visual entertainment which can bring pleasure and information to people of all ages everywhere in the world.

I make pop culture.

Sadly, 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.

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 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.

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.

We live in ugly times.

In the case of news, we should always wait for the sacrament of confirmation.

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

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

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

I seldom think of politics more than eighteen hours a day.

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 press is the enemy.

It’s amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world every day always just exactly fits the newspaper.

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.

People who read the tabloids deserve to be lied to.

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 knowledge which ends in words will die as quickly as it came to life, with the exception of the written word: which is its mechanical part.

My mother is not educated but keeps in touch with world events through news on TV.

I 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.

In ideal form of social control is an atomised collection of individuals focused on their own narrow concern, lacking the kinds of organisations in which they can gain information, develop and articulate their thoughts, and act constructively to achieve common ends.

All in all, I just don’t trust journalists – and I don’t think it’s a good practice for me to trust journalists.

I don’t think the Christian Right dominates America in the way some in the media believe they do.

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

All I know is just what I read in the papers, and that’s an alibi for my ignorance.

To a philosopher all news, as it is called, is gossip, and they who edit and read it are old women over their tea.

If you’re too free, you’re like the way Hong Kong is now. It’s very chaotic.

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.

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

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 don’t like to give advice. I like to give people information because everyone’s life is different, and everyone’s journey is different.

The craving for information is so huge now, and it can be marketed at such a rapid rate.

Eventually you won’t think of ‚the Internet business.‘ You’ll think of it more like news, weather, sports, but even that taxonomy isn’t clear.

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.

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

On TV the people can see it. On radio you’ve got to create it.

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.

You want to know whether we’re better off? I’ve got a little bumper sticker for you: Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive. Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive! Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive!

The 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.

Digital technology allows us a much larger scope to tell stories that were pretty much the grounds of the literary media.

Facts are stubborn things.

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

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.
