The news media's silence, particularly television news, is reprehensible. If we knew as much about Darfur as we do about Michael Jackson, we might be able to stop these things from continuing.
Nicholas D. Kristof

I just did not discuss my personal life, my sexuality with the media. That was my policy.
Greg Louganis

If you interviewed 1,000 politicians and asked about whether the media's too soft or too hard, about 999 would say too hard.
Bob Woodward

Our free enterprise system of disseminating information is collectively referred to as The Media. But there is no collective.
Jessica Savitch

We need to police ourselves in the media.
Bob Woodward

The effect of the mass media is not to elicit belief but to maintain the apparatus of addiction.
Christopher Lasch

It is advertising and the logic of consumerism that governs the depiction of reality in the mass media.
Christopher Lasch

The daily press, the immediate media, is superb at synecdoche, at giving us a small thing that stands for a much larger thing. Reporters on the ground, embedded or otherwise, can tell us about or send us pictures of what happened in that place at that time among those people.
Bruce Jackson

Nothing is really media driven or committee driven, so you can actually just produce something.
Bill Sienkiewicz

Even more worrying is the violence we do to our personal relationships when we let media consume time we might otherwise spend with each other.
Hugh Mackay

Paul Weyrich

Bush and Blair combined their efforts to deceive both nations in a carefully coordinated manner, more so than anyone is willing to point out in the media.
Bianca Jagger

There was a widespread indignation in the American media. They were saying, 'How can you make a movie during an election that's about politics? What are you doing? Are you trying to influence people's lives?' To which my response was, 'Well, I hope so.'
John Sayles

One survey that I saw that was published I think in Variety or Electronic Media within the last three weeks says that now the average hour of radio in the United States has 18 minutes of commercials.
Robert McChesney

Also, the commercial media in a superior position, really, to any other corporate lobby, because where would people hear about commercial media or corporate media criticism, where would they hear criticism of them other than in the commercial media?
Robert McChesney

I find it disturbing that the media keeps referring to my marriage, since I got divorced in 1979. But the media never wants to let me forget.
Bianca Jagger

I first came to think about media and politics in the late 1960s, having observed some distortions up close, but since then I wouldn't say that my personal experience has remained an important motive for my writing about media.
Todd Gitlin

So along with several very popular Internet sites, talk radio has served as alternative media that gives listeners information that they otherwise would not hear.
Paul Weyrich

Which suggests something about media and war: it's not just that events happen and the media documents and presents them. There is a third element: what the public is ready to accept, what the public wants to know.
Bruce Jackson

I cover media people the way they cover politicians.
