What the mass media offers is not popular art, but entertainment which is intended to be consumed like food, forgotten, and replaced by a new dish.
- W H Auden
Here we are in the 70's when everything really is horrible and it really stinks. The mass media, everything on television everything everywhere is just rotten. You know it's just really boring and really evil, ugly and worse.
- Lester Bangs
When you mutilate movies for mass media, you tamper with the hearts and minds of America.
- Warren Beatty
Neither science, nor the politics in power, nor the mass media, nor business, nor the law nor even the military are in a position to define or control risks rationally.
- Ulrich Beck
But if Russia is to be part of this larger zone of peace it cannot bring into it its imperial baggage. It cannot bring into it a policy of genocide against the Chechens, and cannot kill journalists, and it cannot repress the mass media.
- Zbigniew Brzezinski
Do we have free will, or do the mass media and our culture control us, our desires and actions, from the moment we're born?
- Chuck Palahniuk
The mass media in the days of newspapers and television it's hard to be able to find a story that's about just what you're interested in at the time you're interested in it.
- Guy Burgess
The United States is unusual among the industrial democracies in the rigidity of the system of ideological control - "indoctrination," we might say - exercised through the mass media.
- Noam Chomsky
Once upon a time there were mass media, and they were wicked, of course, and there was a guilty party. Then there were the virtuous voices that accused the criminals. And Art (ah, what luck!) offered alternatives, for those who were not prisoners to the mass media.
Well, it's all over. We have to start again from the beginning, asking one another what's going on.
- Umberto Eco
And you see many people just turning away from these channels of mass media, and they're just turning in to alternative providers, because they just see what's happening.
- Sibel Edmonds
It is the emergence of mass media which makes possible the use of propaganda techniques on a societal scale.
- Jacques Ellul
Mass media provides the essential link between the individual and the demands of the technological society.
- Jacques Ellul
The bosses of our mass media, press, radio, film and television, succeed in their aim of taking our minds off disaster. Thus, the distraction they offer demands the antidote of maximum concentration on disaster.
- Ernst Fischer
As all advocates of feminist politics know most people do not understand sexism or if they do they think it is not a problem. Masses of people think that feminism is always and only about women seeking to be equal to men. And a huge majority of these folks think feminism is anti-male. Their misunderstanding of feminist politics reflects the reality that most folks learn about feminism from patriarchal mass media.
- Bell Hooks
We have to constantly critique imperialist white supremacist patriarchal culture because it is normalized by mass media and rendered unproblematic.
- Bell Hooks
I just believe that the cost of marketing is going to increase and the cost of delivery is going to decrease as the Net gets stronger and mass media gets weaker.
- Joichi Ito
We have currently a built-in allergy to unpleasant or disturbing information. Our mass media reflect this. But unless we get up off our fat surpluses and recognize that television in the main is being used to distract, delude, amuse, and insulate us, then television and those who finance it, those who look at it, and those who work at it, may see a totally different picture too late.
- Edward R Murrow
Pop culture has entered into a nostalgic malaise. Online culture is dominated by trivial mashups of the culture that existed before the onset of mashups, and by fandom responding to the dwindling outposts of centralized mass media. It is a culture of reaction without action.
- Jaron Lanier
Pundits are always blaming TV for making people stupid, movies for desensitizing the world to violence, and rock music for making kids take drugs and kill themselves. These things should be the least of our worries. The main problem with mass media is that it makes it impossible to fall in love with any acumen of normalcy. There is no 'normal,' because everybody is being twisted by the same sources simultaneously.
- Chuck Klosterman
People shouldn't expect the mass media to do investigative stories. That job belongs to the 'fringe' media.
- Ted Koppel
It is advertising and the logic of consumerism that governs the depiction of reality in the mass media.
- Christopher Lasch
The effect of the mass media is not to elicit belief but to maintain the apparatus of addiction.
- Christopher Lasch
There is a cultural factor promoting violence which nowadays undoubtedly is highly effective is the mass media. And particularly everything that enters our minds through pictorial media.
- Alva Myrdal
It is extremely important that mass media, having freed from the relics of the Cold War, served for peace and dialogue between nations and religions, the rich and the poor, countries and continents.
- Nursultan Nazarbayev
A serious problem in America is the gap between academe and the mass media, which is our culture. Professors of humanities, with all their leftist fantasies, have little direct knowledge of American life and no impact whatever on public policy.
- Camille Paglia
People in the mass media tend more and more every day to look and act like elected and appointed officials.
- L Neil Smith
The general election is not an organizational exercise - it's a mass media exercise.
