…isn’t it possible that advertising as a whole is a fantastic fraud, presenting an image of America taken seriously by no one, least of all the advertising men who create it?

If you followed the media you’d think that everybody in Africa was starving to death, and that’s not the case; so it’s important to engage with the other Africa.

As always, imagine how great the press corps would be if it devoted 1/1000th the energy to dissecting non-sex political wrongdoing

The media network has its idols, but its principal idol is its own style which generates an aura of winning and leaves the rest in darkness. It recognizes neither pity nor pitilessness.

When did fact checking and journalism go their separate ways?

If we worried about the things you guys (in the media) worry about, our heads would explode. We just play basketball.

It’s tough to be a or 16-year-old athlete competing around the country. There’s tension, there’s media. I had no idea what I was getting into.

I think that of all the principles for journalism, the most important is to complicate simple things and simplify complicated things. At first sight, you may think something is simple, but it may conceal a...

Objectivity, in this sense, means that a person’s statements about the world can be trusted if they are submitted to established rules deemed legitimate by a professional community. Facts here are not aspects of the...

What really drives the stock is merchandise sales and that is largely stimulated by theatrical releases. And all my media sources, including those at Toy Fair, were positive about the Fantastic Four movie.

The international media somehow portray the situation as if the Israeli side is making huge concessions, going out from Gaza and not listening to what’s happening in the West Bank, to what Israel has been...

The world is a complex place, and the influence of the media in its representation and its power of communication and interpretation is a remarkable amplifier of emotions, and of illusions.

All in all, the media was very fair to us. I was surprised and very happy about it.

Because today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups… So I ask, in my writing, What is real?...

The witch-hunt narrative is a really popular story that goes like this: Lots of people were falsely convicted of child sexual abuse in the 1980s and early 1990s. And they were all victims of a...

As far as the media is concerned, I wouldn’t shoot anything down.

Modern architecture only becomes modern with its engagement with the media.

All the media of modern consciousness—from the printing press to radio and the movies—were used just as readily by authoritarian reactionaries, and then by modern totalitarians, to reduce liberty and enforce conformity as they ever...

I sometimes compare press officers to riflemen on the Somme — mowing down wave upon wave of distortion, taking out rank upon rank of supposition, deduction and gossip.

For governments at war, the media is an instrument of war or an element in war that is to be controlled.

The carelessness with which we talk about each other and to the media is destroying us.

I would not know how I am supposed to feel about many stories if not for the fact that the TV news personalities make sad faces for sad stories and happy faces for happy stories.

The schedules are crammed with shows urging us to travel further, drive faster, build bigger, buy more, yet none of them are deemed to offend the rules, which really means that they don’t offend the...

The truth is not in the commercial media because the truth is a dagger pointed at its heart, which is its pocketbook.

A babble of words that no one understands now fills the airwaves, and language loses all meaning as we sink slowly, mindlessly, into herstory rather than history because most rapists are men, aren’t they?

The scenarios of biological or chemical warfare painted in detail by the American media during the months after September 11 only betray the inability of the government to determine the magnitude of the danger.

Nobody at CNBC owns gold. Nobody at Bloomberg owns gold. Gold is being constantly talked down by the media, and Fed officials, and economists, who also don’t own any gold. They’re all stocked up in...

Anything remotely resembling news media is going to continue to migrate online until very little or none of it is produced on dead trees.

Bra-burning never happened. It was completely made up by the media. A couple of women protesting a Miss America pageant threw some bras into a garbage can, and somehow that became this longstanding idea of...

As we have seen, WikiLeaks is a robust organization. During my time in solitary confinement in the basement of a Victorian prison, we continue to release, our media partners continued to write stories. The important...

Attempts to thwart or muzzle the media continued as well. At a conservative caucus meeting in Charlottetown in August 2007, journalists assembled in the lobby of the hotel, as they usually do at such gatherings,...

Advertisers have to find another way to deliver their message. Because of the decline in traditional media, they have to make themselves more interesting.

in spite of the phenomenal growth of the Internet and mobile devices, I still believe television will continue to be an incredibly important medium for the Church. After all, over the last century, radio never...

There is filth on the floor, and it must be scraped up with the muck-rake.

It’s 5:22pm you’re in the grocery checkout line. Your three-year-old is writhing on the floor, screaming, because you have refused to buy her a Teletubby pinwheel. Your six-year-old is whining, repeatedly, in a voice that...

Because we live in a democracy, and the people can’t govern themselves well if they don’t know the truth about the world we live in. What if our rich citizens never hear of the poverty...

Does the mainstream media have a liberal bias? On a couple of things, maybe. Compared to the American public at large, probably a slightly higher percentage of journalists, because of thier enhanced power of discernment,...

A free press doesn’t mean it’s not a tame press.

The rich run a global system that allows them to accumulate capital and pay the lowest possible price for labour. The freedom that results applies only to them. The many simply have to work harder,...

Netiquette Rules bring us together. Culture creates great experiences. Share.

People say conversation is a lost art; how often I have wished it were.

Just because something isn’t a lie does not mean that it isn’t deceptive. A liar knows that he is a liar, but one who speaks mere portions of truth in order to deceive is a...

When you’re kept by a patron you don’t have to duke it out in the media marketplace for dollars and for readers. In some ways that’s a blessing because it takes a lot of pressure...

Conversation is king. Content is just something to talk about.

The futility of everything that comes to us from the media is the inescapable consequence of the absolute inability of that particular stage to remain silent. Music, commercial breaks, news flashes, adverts, news broadcasts, movies,...

Trust your own reason and your own logic, not your own media!

It turns out to be more important than we thought, … We’re at a stage now in the modern media where everything is so fragmented that the only things that bring us together in the...

In the broader sense at Digitas, I’ve been very involved in media and publishing.

I have not received any invitation for any round table conference but I have come to know through media that it is going to be held in New Delhi.

We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in...
