You have to look also to the media, where you have a vast majority of the loudest and most influential political voices in America media from people who came from the entertainment world.
- Ben Affleck
I mean, the fight for a health care bill to cover all Americans and leave none behind is attacked as being a race appeal, which is not true, but then it's put out in the media as true.
- Jesse Jackson
When it comes to helping out, I don't believe in doing it for the media attention. My goal is to support the organizations that need help.

But particularly when the media profess to strive toward objectivity, gatekeepers play a crucial role in helping people navigate the news to make educated political decisions.
- Eric Alterman
Liberals believe that they can't get a fair shake from the media anymore.
- Eric Alterman
This trend of reporting process over substance is unfortunate, if omnipresent. Even worse is the media's inability - or unwillingness - to fact-check Republicans who are angry about the Democrats trying to debate and vote on Iraq policy.
- Eric Alterman
I think that reality TV is so bad. It is a tool by the media to not make people think.
- Naveen Andrews
These days politics, religion, media seem to get all mixed up. Television became the new religion a long time back and the media has taken over.
- Van Morrison
National leaders who find themselves wilting under the withering criticisms by members of the media, would do well not to take such criticism personally but to regard the media as their allies in keeping the government clean and honest, its services.
- Corazon Aquino
The media's power is frail. Without the people's support, it can be shut off with the ease of turning a light switch.

- Amitabh Bachchan
There's less critical thinking going on in this country on a Main Street level - forget about the media - than ever before. We've never needed people to think more critically than now, and they've taken a big nap.
- Alec Baldwin
We want you to sit down and leave your egos at home and let's get an understanding as to where all this is foolishness coming from. There are others who are putting things out there or throwing a stick and hiding their hand and keeping things built up in the media.
- Afrika Bambaataa
The media can be a really strong vehicle.
- Cecilia Bartoli
The more the media peddled fear, the more the people lost the ability to believe in one another. For every new ill that befell them, the media created an explanation, and the explanation always had a face and a name. The people came to fear even their closest neighbors. At the level of the individual, the community, and the nation, people sought signs of others' ill intentions; and everywhere they looked, they found them, for this is what looking does.
- Bernard Beckett
Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.
- Ludwig Van Beethoven
Right now, I have some big dreams. But at the same time, if I get annoyed and harassed by the media, I'll just quit. I don't care. We're set for life. I have quite a temper.
- Anna Benson
I am very suspicious of the notion that somehow bin Laden was a media creation... Bin Laden's actions made him into a big deal. Not the media.
- Peter L Bergen
Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why /but the editorialists forget it /terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.
- John Berger
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.
- John Berger
In Holland and Spain and France, where so many of us come from, people aren't interested in the sex lives of their players. We don't hear these stories - even in Italy where the media is right on top of football.
- Dennis Bergkamp
We shouldn't build a technology to colour, or grey out, what people say. The media in general is balanced, although there are a lot of issues to be addressed that the media rightly pick up on.
- Tim Bernerslee
Don't hate the media, become the media.
- Jello Biafra
The media called us ruthless terrorists. We're not. We're just fighting for what's right. Being born a nought shouldn't automatically slam shut myriad doors before you've even drawn your first breath.

I keep telling myself, don't get cocky. Give your services to the press and the media, be nice to the kids, throw a baseball into the stands once in a while.
- Vida Blue
My actions to promote peace, the mediation missions which I carried out during many conflicts, which very often occurred between brothers of the same country, are not driven by any ulterior motives or any calculations based on personal ambitions.
- Omar Bongo
Anything I cannot thank God for for the sake of Christ, I may not thank God for at all; to do so would be sin.... We cannot rightly acknowledge the gifts of God unless we acknowledge the Mediator for whose sake alone they are given to us.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The media insists on taking what someone didn't mean to say as being far closer to the truth than what they did.
- Alain De Botton
You don't really see ugly people that are old, or a bit grotty and smelly, in the media. If a Martian came down, they would think we were all tall, thin, attractive and wealthy.

Societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media by which men communicate than by the content of the communication.
- Marshall Mcluhan
The truth is that the more responsible the media outlet, the more responsive they are to constructive criticism.
- David Brock
Criticizing Fox News has nothing to do with criticizing the press. Fox News is not a news organization. It is the de facto leader of the GOP, and it is long past time that it is treated as such by the media, elected officials and the public.
- David Brock
I've been interested in watching the level of conservative misinformation that circulates through the media.
- David Brock
Sometimes I suspect most of the media commentariat are suffering from Munchausen syndrome.
- Rebekah Brooks
In the beginning, the media was calling me a bad boy all the time because of the way I act and feel onstage. None of them have ever taken the time to get to know me when I climb offstage.
- Bobby Brown
The media is the right arm of anarchy.
- Dan Brown
Multinational corporations do control. They control the politicians. They control the media. They control the pattern of consumption, entertainment, thinking. They're destroying the planet and laying the foundation for violent outbursts and racial division.

From the subtle to the extreme, our culture and our values are under unrelenting attack from the media.
- Tammy Bruce
Hard rock may have faded from the media for a time, but I've always been able to make a living, if not in America, then in the rest of the world.
- David Coverdale
Unfortunately, the media, which are not at all reluctant to act in their own self-interest, have succeeded in equating reform in the public mind with further restrictions on just about everyone else's freedom of political speech.
- James L Buckley
The kind of corruption the media talk about, the kind the Supreme Court was concerned about, involves the putative sale of votes in exchange for campaign contributions.
- James L Buckley
It was OK for the media to pursue Former President Clinton year after year for lying about a private, consensual sexual affair, but we have five justices who committed one of the biggest crimes in American History, and it ceased to be a big story.

I don't think I'm portrayed in the media the way I really am - but then who is?
- Jenna Bush
The world is such a big place, and there's so much that goes on, but a lot of the media really just cover the same thing over and over again.
- Jenna Bush
Maybe it is the media that has us divided.
- Laura Bush
I think there are a lot of reasons to be critical of the media in America.
- Laura Bush
Sexual harassment law is very important. But I think it would be a mistake if the sexual harassment law movement is the only way in which feminism is known in the media.
- Judith Butler
Chris Christie has been saying for a long time he's not interested in running. The media is trying to create a story by sucking Chris Christie into race, just like they made a story by sucking Rick Perry into the race.
- Herman Cain
Americans need accurate information in order to consider Social Security reform. Too bad the media can't be counted upon to provide it.
- Herman Cain
A woman's experience is different from a man's in virtually every respect, including how she is treated by the media.
- Carly Fiorina
Most of the media... is positioning the merger with Compaq and the recent actions by Walter Hewlett and David Packard as a fight between the past and the future.
- Carly Fiorina
The media are obsessed with spin doctors and with portraying them as a bad thing, yet seem addicted to our medicine.
- Alastair Campbell
The bad news for journalists today is that the media, however seriously people who are in the public eye take it, is not taken as seriously as it once was - by the public.
- Alastair Campbell
Clinton is a big personality who has led a big life, and for some of the media conventional wisdom to boil it down to a view that 'all people are really interested in' are a few moments of madness in the Oval Office gets him, the importance of the presidency, and the significance of his life, all wrong.
- Alastair Campbell
In an ideal world, it would not take a film star to get the media focused on mental illness.
- Alastair Campbell
The people who wrote the mediaeval ballads knew more about fairies than you do. It isn't only nice things that happen in fairyland.....I never said it was wrong to enter fairyland. I only said it was dangerous.

People have their own opinions but sometimes with the media things get chopped up and cut around to make stories out of it.
- Aaron Carter
Yet, the main issue is not the shaping of the minds by explicit messages in the media, but the absence of a given content in the media.
- Manuel Castells
the media are not the holders of power, but they constitute by and large the space where power is decided.
- Manuel Castells
The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.
- Michel De Certeau
Often, what you see in the media is driven by economic forces.
- Iris Chang
In certain areas where the media are still controlled, the changes have come to a halt, which is a very frustrating situation. I would like the changes to take place throughout China.
- Jung Chang
People have accepted the media's idea of what feminism is, but that doesn't mean that it's right or true or real. Feminism is not monolithic. Within feminism, there is an array of opinions.
- Judy Chicago
All I want is for people to listen to it with unbiased ears, and decide for themselves. I just don't want them to be dictated to by the media, or have preconceptions about it. If you like it, great. If you don't, fair enough.

Public opinion can be influential, the media can be influential.

One of my goals upon becoming Secretary of State was to take diplomacy out of capitals, out of government offices, into the media, into the streets of countries.
- Hillary Clinton
You can go into neighborhoods in the United States where people dress a certain way because they don't want to be out of touch, where boys wear pants down to their knees, which nobody has compelled them to do but they pick up the cultural norms, or where girls are improperly dressed by my eyes, but that's what they see in the media.
- Hillary Clinton
Everybody just lets the media do their thinking for them... that's why you'll never hear any reggae on the radio!
- Daniel Clowes
The fact that this is getting released, and people are just now hearing it, kind of tickles me. This is just awesome that the media is excited to talk to me and find out what's happening.
- Jessi Colter
Young writers if they are to mature require a period of between three and seven years in which to live down their promise. Promise is like the mediaeval hangman who after settling the noose, pushed his victim off the platform and jumped on his back, his weight acting a drop while his jockeying arms prevented the unfortunate from loosening the rope. When he judged him dead he dropped to the ground.
- Cyril Connolly
I sat down and collected all of our eleven sales for the past six months and I added them all together and divided by eleven. I then took that average and presented it as the average price for a Manhattan apartment. The media ate it up.
- Barbara Corcoran
The show is a satire, which gives us freedom to do anything we want. Satire is the magic word that wipes away any culpability. The media is jealous of this freedom.
- Rob Corddry
When Captain America died, Americans heard it in an American way: through the media. When Captain Britain died, the British felt it in their chests.
- Paul Cornell
They have been talking about a dictatorship and they were right because there's a dictatorship and there's a government that has been fighting that dictatorship, the dictatorship of the media.
- Rafael Correa
Already liberals are trying to rewrite the history of the Cold War to remove Reagan from its core, to make him a doddering B-movie actor who happened to be standing there when the Soviet Union imploded. They have the media, the universities, the textbooks. We have ourselves. We are the witnesses.
- Ann Coulter
The Petersons have not come forward in the press. Apparently they feel the media bears a large responsibility for Scott's conviction. It may be a while before we hear anything from them.
- Catherine Crier
I will not quit this game because of what the media has done to me.
- Michael Jordan
I think it is absolutely essential in a democracy to have competition in the media, a lot of competition, and we seem to be moving away from that.
- Walter Cronkite
I'm not one of those actors who needs the media spotlight all the time to feel gratified. I'm happy to do one project a year and take the rest of the year off as long as that project is special.
- Macaulay Culkin
There is a real hunger for information about Obama and a sense that information is not being covered or, in some cases, even being withheld. There is a sense that there are elements of the media that are protective of Obama, that they would rather block a story that is embarassing about Obama than let the American public decide.
- Dinesh Dsouza
The media tries to do what they do. You can't stop. You gotta get money.
- Trick Daddy
I wish the Libertarian Party would get more play in the media but they don't.
- Glenn Danzig
It's how the news becomes so powerful it doesn't need TV or newspapers. It exists in people's perceptions. It's something they invent, strong enough to seem real. It's the news without the media.
- Don Delillo
There is no method by which an average citizen can effectively fight the White House in the media.
- Linda Tripp
The first problem of the media is posed by what does not get translated, or even published in the dominant political languages.
- Jacques Derrida
We all learn in school that the judicial, legislative and executive branches of government must check and balance each other. But other non state institutions must participate in this important system of checks and balances as well. These checking institutions include the academy, the media, religious institutions and NGOs.
- Alan Dershowitz
The main thing that gives me hope is the media. We have radio, TV, magazines, and books, so we have the possibility of learning from societies that are remote from us, like Somalia. We turn on the TV and see what blew up in Iraq or we see conditions in Afghanistan.
- Jared Diamond
Before Katrina, you didn't see criticism of the Bush administration in the media. Here they are, stealing elections, enacting illegal wars, huge crimes against humanity and democracy, and you didn't even see criticism. It wasn't until Katrina that people started to come down on them.
- Ani Difranco
The mediation by the serpent was necessary. Evil can seduce man, but cannot become man.
- Franz Kafka
But since we've been fighting for first or second place, it's grabbed the media's attention. I enjoy racing them. They are a good team and when you beat them it's something to be proud of.
- Larry Dixon
The media only wants to get the view of the flaming radicals because they make better copy than those of us who are more sensible. I'm a feminist and I think I've done a lot of good.
- Betty Dodson
So this is all part of a free society. People are entitled to hold whatever view they want, and the media can report things how they wish.
- Alexander Downer
The media is comparable to government-probably passes government in raw power.
- Matt Drudge
I never had the financial means that the media said I had. I laugh when I hear the amounts, $400 million, $800 million. Where do they get this imagination?
- Jean Claude Duvalier
An office occupation is another example as not only douse it disrupt the activities of the organization it also can raise the media profile of the campaign.
- Ben Edwards
Ought 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 Thatcher
One minute you're a developing athlete trying to get to the top, then the next minute you do well and win a medal somewhere, and then it's all foisted on you. You never know when it's going to happen. You don't think about the media side of things when you're a young athlete trying to do well.
- Jessica Ennis
The belief that we are what the media says we are, what people perceive we are, is soon to be what we think we are. We are treated based on this warped perception. It is hard to get away from it.
- Kevin Eubanks
The media and the rest of popular culture weren't recording people's reactions to 9/11; they were forcing made-up reactions down people's throats.
- Susan Faludi
Nobody has ever built a reliable peer-to-peer service, where people can really access all the music they want in one location,... Once I got it into my head, I couldn't imagine the media space without one.
- Shawn Fanning
I have invested the best part of my adult political life in helping to try to build up this movement and I am far from perfect but I do think I am able, through the media, to deliver a good, simple, understandable message.
- Nigel Farage
You want to come home from a tournament with a winner's medal. That's not the fans or the media putting us under pressure, that's the pressure we put ourselves under.
- Rio Ferdinand
It's hard to know now who, if anyone, in the media has any credibility.
- Howard Fineman
Madonna is a pro. I don't like her and have no respect for her but- I don't think she should be called a musician or a dancer or whatever you know, but I do have, well I do have respect for her ability to completely manipulate the media and have them work for her.
- Jon Fishman
I think opera has gained a kind of glamorous appeal. It's a live performance that aligns all of the arts, and when it is represented in the media, in film in particular, it is presented as something that is really a special event, whether it's a great date or something that's just hugely romantic.
- Renee Fleming
On several occasions, I discussed with Bill Clinton the subject of inquiries by the media about our relationship. He told me to continue to deny our relationship, that if we would stick together, everything would be okay.
- Gennifer Flowers
I don't talk about who I'm dating because when you break up, you wind up reliving it in the media.
- Bridget Fonda
The biases the media has are much bigger than conservative or liberal. They're about getting ratings, about making money, about doing stories that are easy to cover.
- Al Franken
To make the argument that the media has a left- or right-wing, or a liberal or a conservative bias, is like asking if the problem with Al-Qaeda is do they use too much oil in their hummus.
- Al Franken
Look, the media are trapped by changes in the technology and business of their industry.
- David Frum
A generation ago, or two, when there were three channels, plus PBS, and when you needed - when you needed 15 million people to make a living, the media could focus on the broad country. And most people had no choice about getting political information. It was there at 6:30 whether you wanted it or not.
- David Frum
One of the problems that we face through the media attention that these artists receive is that there has been an awful lot of talk about opera and classical music being elite and being for an elitist group.
- Lesley Garrett
And given that there's been probably a ten-fold amount of information about terrorism through the media than there has about climate change; I think that's quite an interesting statistic.

The creation continues incessantly through the media of man.
- Antonio Gaudi
Whenever the media do try to pick it up, it slides like a lone noodle from their chopsticks.
- William Gibson
I feel like there is just as much violent programming in other countries and there is not the same incidence of factors. I think there are other factors contributing to violence in this country and not the media.
- Sara Gilbert
Whoever controls the media, the images, controls the culture.
- Allen Ginsberg
The manufacture of desire isn't at the heart - if it isn't absurd to speak of a heart - of the media torrent. Chronic dissatisfaction is at the heart of the matter.
- Todd Gitlin
I don't think anyone in the media thinks strategically about society.
- Todd Gitlin
Navigation is power of a limited sort - it enables us to manage the immensity of the media torrent.
- Todd Gitlin
The best example of how impossible it will be for Major League Baseball to crack down on steroids is the fact that baseball and the media are still talking about the problem as "steroids."
- Malcolm Gladwell
If you are in the job for glamour, you're in for the shock of your life. The media is a huge shark pool.
- Trisha Goddard
I respect very much the role of the media in our society; I think they can be very, very helpful. They serve as a very useful check, sort of a watchdog over the actions of the government, and I respect that.
- Alberto Gonzales
The media is absolutely essential to the functioning of a democracy. It's not our job to cozy up to power. We're supposed to be the check and balance on government.

The influence of blogging is overall a very positive force in the media.
- Garrett Graff
Why is it you assholes always feel the need to tell the media your evil plans before you kill us?" asked Becks. "Is it a union requirement or something?
- Mira Grant
The media no longer hesitate to whip up lurid anxieties in order to increase sales, in the process undermining social confidence and multiplying fears.
- A C Grayling
I am very conscious of what I say and do when I go out because the media is quick to make that a story.
- Justin Guarini
We citizens don't need to know every detail of every military operation in this new kind of war. Nor should the media tell us and hence our enemy.
- David Hackworth
There are a lot of things and in order to be at the top and maintain your focus you have to have something that motivates you. For me, it was what I perceived as a lack of respect from the boxing world as well as the media, which made me want to work so hard and be great.
- Marvin Hagler
I think the media's a little frightened of women.
- Nikki Haley
It's really important to remember that most people in the public eye are human for a start and a lot of things that you read in the media get slightly misconstrued and manipulated.
- Geri Halliwell
The media. It sounds like a convention of spiritualists.
- Tom Stoppard
It's an image that the media has given me as a bad girl, and the only reason they gave me that image is just because of the few things that have gone wrong in my life, and also because I grew up living in a trailer.
- Tonya Harding
The fact is, the media never gets off the interstate unless there's a major explosion.
- Jim Harrison
There was no doubt that in the early and mid-eighties that many of us in broadsheet newspapers felt that we still had a responsibility to try to protect the Royal Family or if you like protect the Monarchy from the assaults of the media.
- Max Hastings
All Americans value the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press, and I believe this is essential for our continued way of life. But with this freedom comes responsibility. That responsibility has been abdicated here by some in the media and some in the government.
- Steven Hatfill
The media need superheroes in science just as in every sphere of life, but there is really a continuous range of abilities with no clear dividing line.
- Stephen Hawking
I worked in the media from the late 30's through the early 70's. Politics in general became more liberal both nationally and within the state as the years passed.
- Jesse Helms
But today we become aware of other readings of the human experience very quickly because of the media and the speed with which people travel the planet.
- Chaim Potok
I was a scapegoat. The media had to put responsibility on somebody, and I was chosen. They felt free to say that because someone was thin they were anorexic, which is ridiculous.
- Kate Moss
Such was the number of the barbarians, that when they shot forth their arrows the sun would be darkened by their multitude." Dieneces, not at all frightened at these words, but making light of the Median numbers, answered "Our Trachinian friend brings us excellent tidings. If the Medes darken the sun, we shall have our fight in the shade.
- Herodotus
I was just absolutely exhausted. The media said I've been treated for a nervous breakdown. All that stuff I just took as people taking the opportunity when you're down to give you a kick.
- John Hewson
When I signed the license, I thought the media wasn't going to pick up on it if I used my real name, Nicholai Hilton.
- Nicky Hilton
I think her friends were worried that the bulimia might come back, about some psychological slide, and she was given breathing space to some extent by the media as much as she ever has been.
- Anthony Holden
In Modernism, reality used to validate media. In Postmodernism, the media validate reality. If you don't believe this, just think how many times you've described some real event as being 'just like a movie.'
- Brad Holland
Through a blog, an ordinary citizen such as myself can use the Internet, this thing invented by Albert Gore, to talk from my house to the U.S. capital and to make use of my right to point out to government officials and to the media when they are wrong.
- John Jay Hooker
Safety on our highways has improved significantly, with the help of the Legislature and the media.
- Jane D Hull
I never take ideas from the headlines. I feel that if a story is good enough, a real story that is, then it's already been covered by the media, and if it's not good enough, why would I want to bother with it?
- Evan Hunter
It just is nothing foreign to consciousness at all that could present itself to consciousness through the mediation of phenomena different from the liking itself; to like is intrinsically to be conscious.
- Edmund Husserl
This Power Elite directly employs several millions of the country's working force in its factories, offices and stores, controls many millions more by lending them the money to buy its products, and, through its ownership of the media of mass communication, influences the thoughts, the feelings and the actions of virtually everybody. To parody the words of W. Churchill, never have so many been manipulated so much by few.
- Aldous Huxley
'Through the times I've gone through the last couple of weeks - and I'm still trying to help a friend - I got attacked pretty hard through the media, and it hurt and it was devastating, but I really found out who was with me and who was there for me.

For governments at war, the media is an instrument of war or an element in war that is to be controlled.
- Bruce Jackson
The media is not at all homogeneous in the way it tells us about war.
- Bruce Jackson
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
The media bring our wars home, but only rarely have they been able to do it in complete freedom.
- Bruce Jackson
It is not at all clear how much the media influences public opinion and how much public opinion influences the media.
- Bruce Jackson
The US military still blames the media for stories and images that turned the American public against the war in Vietnam.
- Bruce Jackson
Some people are probably scratching their heads and saying, How did that happen? That's because some of the media didn't give the public the full story.
- Tito Jackson
But, we didn't have all the media that we do today.
- Wanda Jackson
If enough money is involved and enough people believe that two plus two equals five the media will report the story with a straight face always adding a qualifying paragraph noting that mathematicians however say that two plus two still equals four.
- Susan Jacoby
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
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
Oftentimes in a society when people of a certain type, whether individual or a group, are subconsciously portrayed by the media as abnormal, they also slowly, subconsciously become enemies of that society due to feelings of cultural guilt. Ultimately by this the inflated media is an enemy of its very own cause.
- Criss Jami
Love begets wisdom, thus it is, as often misconceived, more than vain layers of tenderness; it is inherently rational and comprehensive of the problem within the problem: for instance, envy is one of the most excused sins in the media of political correctness. Those you find most attractive, or seem to have it all, are often some of the most insecure at heart, and that is because people assume that they do not need anything but defamation.
- Criss Jami
Every book I write, the media just keeps punching me in the face.
- Tama Janowitz
I think relationships are broken up because of the media.
- Jayz
The Chinese people have been forced to forget the Tiananmen massacre. There has been no public debate about the event, no official apology. The media aren't allowed to mention it. Still today people are being persecuted and imprisoned for disseminating information about it.
- Ma Jian
Yeah, right. I mean, he criticises everybody in the media, then the first thing he does when he finishes is he goes to work for the media. Thompson, too. Hypocritical.
- Ian St John
The American people were really not 100% convinced that this idea of default was really going to occur, and I think the media, current company excepted here, did not help in that regard because they confused the American people about what default actually meant.
- Bill Johnson
It is possible to have a pretty good life and career being a leech and a parasite in the media world, gadding about from TV studio to TV studio, writing inconsequential pieces and having a good time.
- Boris Johnson
With literature, sometimes a book is presented in the media as being say, a Muslim story or an African story, when essentially it's a universal story which we can all relate to it, no matter what race or social background we come from.
- Shawn Johnson
I have had some pretty wild nights! I think the media keeps a very close eye on what people are up to these days. I was out with George Clooney a few nights ago and we had a great time.
- Tom Jones
If you had to point to one thing that made it less likely that the Red Sox would win the World Series, I would say it was those people that go to Fenway Park to watch the games. And then the media around it.
- Michael Lewis
The media works in sound bites. They can make you look like a genius or stupid.
- Kato Kaelin
I was never OJ's closest pal, and the media would say that over and over, but I wasn't his enemy either.
- Kato Kaelin
For example, students of policy have noted that the availability heuristic
helps explain why some issues are highly salient in the public's mind while
others are neglected. People tend to assess the relative importance of
issues by the ease with which they are retrieved from memoryand this is
largely determined by the extent of coverage in the media
- Daniel Kahneman
Tell me, why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognise our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?
- Abdul Kalam
I would rather have been beaten up in the media than live a life that wasn't happy.
- Kim Kardashian
The real political life in Russia unfortunately is not in the parliament but on the streets and in the media.
- Garry Kasparov
I think the media made Manson, turned him into some larger than life figure and surrounded him with mystery and some shady glamour.
- Maynard James Keenan
With 24-hour news... the story moves on with the media.
- Charles Kennedy
When we, through our educational culture, through the media, through the entertainment culture, give our children the impression that human beings cannot control their passions, we are telling them, in effect, that human beings cannot be trusted with freedom.
- Alan Keyes
It is stupid on my part to think of banning the media.
- Shahrukh Khan
Music itself was color-blind but the media and the radio stations segregate it based on their perceptions of the artists.
- Anthony Kiedis
If you look at the media now all of the hosts of these other shows are interviewing themselves. The guests are a prop for the hosts on these cable networks. The guests for me are always the paramount.
- Larry King
When the media ask George W. Bush a question, he answers, 'Can I use a lifeline?'
- Robin Williams
Once the World Cup preparations begin there will hardly be an opportunity to do so, since we'll have to put all our energy into the team. We coaches have a list of priorities and dealing with the media isn't in the top five.
- Jurgen Klinsmann
It's just that what's important there is different there than what's important is here. Here, people care that you wrote a book or that you work in the media.
- Chuck Klosterman
Yeah, I have been because, generally speaking, to we Biblical literalists, the media is very hostile.
- Tim Lahaye
The media is looking every season for a designer to tell a story. I have a long story I have to tell, continuing fluently year after year.
- Helmut Lang
When all the media assertions were put together, the police appeared to be hunting for a psychotic lesbian who had joined a cult of Satanists that propagandized for S&M sex and hated society in general and men in particular. Because Salander had been abroad for the past year, there might be international connections too.
- Stieg Larsson
- Ben Affleck
I mean, the fight for a health care bill to cover all Americans and leave none behind is attacked as being a race appeal, which is not true, but then it's put out in the media as true.
- Jesse Jackson
When it comes to helping out, I don't believe in doing it for the media attention. My goal is to support the organizations that need help.
- Paul Allen
But particularly when the media profess to strive toward objectivity, gatekeepers play a crucial role in helping people navigate the news to make educated political decisions.
- Eric Alterman
Liberals believe that they can't get a fair shake from the media anymore.
- Eric Alterman
This trend of reporting process over substance is unfortunate, if omnipresent. Even worse is the media's inability - or unwillingness - to fact-check Republicans who are angry about the Democrats trying to debate and vote on Iraq policy.
- Eric Alterman
I think that reality TV is so bad. It is a tool by the media to not make people think.
- Naveen Andrews
These days politics, religion, media seem to get all mixed up. Television became the new religion a long time back and the media has taken over.
- Van Morrison
National leaders who find themselves wilting under the withering criticisms by members of the media, would do well not to take such criticism personally but to regard the media as their allies in keeping the government clean and honest, its services.
- Corazon Aquino
The media's power is frail. Without the people's support, it can be shut off with the ease of turning a light switch.

- Meg Cabot
Basically I am just another actor who loves his work and this thing about age only exists in the media.
- Amitabh Bachchan
There's less critical thinking going on in this country on a Main Street level - forget about the media - than ever before. We've never needed people to think more critically than now, and they've taken a big nap.
- Alec Baldwin
We want you to sit down and leave your egos at home and let's get an understanding as to where all this is foolishness coming from. There are others who are putting things out there or throwing a stick and hiding their hand and keeping things built up in the media.
- Afrika Bambaataa
The media can be a really strong vehicle.
- Cecilia Bartoli
The more the media peddled fear, the more the people lost the ability to believe in one another. For every new ill that befell them, the media created an explanation, and the explanation always had a face and a name. The people came to fear even their closest neighbors. At the level of the individual, the community, and the nation, people sought signs of others' ill intentions; and everywhere they looked, they found them, for this is what looking does.
- Bernard Beckett
Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.
- Ludwig Van Beethoven
Right now, I have some big dreams. But at the same time, if I get annoyed and harassed by the media, I'll just quit. I don't care. We're set for life. I have quite a temper.
- Anna Benson
I am very suspicious of the notion that somehow bin Laden was a media creation... Bin Laden's actions made him into a big deal. Not the media.
- Peter L Bergen
Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why /but the editorialists forget it /terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.
- John Berger
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.
- John Berger
In Holland and Spain and France, where so many of us come from, people aren't interested in the sex lives of their players. We don't hear these stories - even in Italy where the media is right on top of football.
- Dennis Bergkamp
We shouldn't build a technology to colour, or grey out, what people say. The media in general is balanced, although there are a lot of issues to be addressed that the media rightly pick up on.
- Tim Bernerslee
Don't hate the media, become the media.
- Jello Biafra
The media called us ruthless terrorists. We're not. We're just fighting for what's right. Being born a nought shouldn't automatically slam shut myriad doors before you've even drawn your first breath.
- Malorie Blackman
I keep telling myself, don't get cocky. Give your services to the press and the media, be nice to the kids, throw a baseball into the stands once in a while.
- Vida Blue
My actions to promote peace, the mediation missions which I carried out during many conflicts, which very often occurred between brothers of the same country, are not driven by any ulterior motives or any calculations based on personal ambitions.
- Omar Bongo
Anything I cannot thank God for for the sake of Christ, I may not thank God for at all; to do so would be sin.... We cannot rightly acknowledge the gifts of God unless we acknowledge the Mediator for whose sake alone they are given to us.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The media insists on taking what someone didn't mean to say as being far closer to the truth than what they did.
- Alain De Botton
You don't really see ugly people that are old, or a bit grotty and smelly, in the media. If a Martian came down, they would think we were all tall, thin, attractive and wealthy.
- Jo Brand
Societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media by which men communicate than by the content of the communication.
- Marshall Mcluhan
The truth is that the more responsible the media outlet, the more responsive they are to constructive criticism.
- David Brock
Criticizing Fox News has nothing to do with criticizing the press. Fox News is not a news organization. It is the de facto leader of the GOP, and it is long past time that it is treated as such by the media, elected officials and the public.
- David Brock
I've been interested in watching the level of conservative misinformation that circulates through the media.
- David Brock
Sometimes I suspect most of the media commentariat are suffering from Munchausen syndrome.
- Rebekah Brooks
In the beginning, the media was calling me a bad boy all the time because of the way I act and feel onstage. None of them have ever taken the time to get to know me when I climb offstage.
- Bobby Brown
The media is the right arm of anarchy.
- Dan Brown
Multinational corporations do control. They control the politicians. They control the media. They control the pattern of consumption, entertainment, thinking. They're destroying the planet and laying the foundation for violent outbursts and racial division.
- Jerry Brown
From the subtle to the extreme, our culture and our values are under unrelenting attack from the media.
- Tammy Bruce
Hard rock may have faded from the media for a time, but I've always been able to make a living, if not in America, then in the rest of the world.
- David Coverdale
Unfortunately, the media, which are not at all reluctant to act in their own self-interest, have succeeded in equating reform in the public mind with further restrictions on just about everyone else's freedom of political speech.
- James L Buckley
The kind of corruption the media talk about, the kind the Supreme Court was concerned about, involves the putative sale of votes in exchange for campaign contributions.
- James L Buckley
It was OK for the media to pursue Former President Clinton year after year for lying about a private, consensual sexual affair, but we have five justices who committed one of the biggest crimes in American History, and it ceased to be a big story.
- Vincent Bugliosi
I'm a false icon! The media collaborate in promoting my superficial lifestyle as somehow more valid, more worthy of attention than your real lives! - Gideon Stargrave

The mediator of the inexpressible is the work of art.
- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
I don't think I'm portrayed in the media the way I really am - but then who is?
- Jenna Bush
The world is such a big place, and there's so much that goes on, but a lot of the media really just cover the same thing over and over again.
- Jenna Bush
Maybe it is the media that has us divided.
- Laura Bush
I think there are a lot of reasons to be critical of the media in America.
- Laura Bush
Sexual harassment law is very important. But I think it would be a mistake if the sexual harassment law movement is the only way in which feminism is known in the media.
- Judith Butler
Chris Christie has been saying for a long time he's not interested in running. The media is trying to create a story by sucking Chris Christie into race, just like they made a story by sucking Rick Perry into the race.
- Herman Cain
Americans need accurate information in order to consider Social Security reform. Too bad the media can't be counted upon to provide it.
- Herman Cain
A woman's experience is different from a man's in virtually every respect, including how she is treated by the media.
- Carly Fiorina
Most of the media... is positioning the merger with Compaq and the recent actions by Walter Hewlett and David Packard as a fight between the past and the future.
- Carly Fiorina
The media are obsessed with spin doctors and with portraying them as a bad thing, yet seem addicted to our medicine.
- Alastair Campbell
The bad news for journalists today is that the media, however seriously people who are in the public eye take it, is not taken as seriously as it once was - by the public.
- Alastair Campbell
Clinton is a big personality who has led a big life, and for some of the media conventional wisdom to boil it down to a view that 'all people are really interested in' are a few moments of madness in the Oval Office gets him, the importance of the presidency, and the significance of his life, all wrong.
- Alastair Campbell
In an ideal world, it would not take a film star to get the media focused on mental illness.
- Alastair Campbell
The people who wrote the mediaeval ballads knew more about fairies than you do. It isn't only nice things that happen in fairyland.....I never said it was wrong to enter fairyland. I only said it was dangerous.
- Gilbert K Chesterton
People have their own opinions but sometimes with the media things get chopped up and cut around to make stories out of it.
- Aaron Carter
Yet, the main issue is not the shaping of the minds by explicit messages in the media, but the absence of a given content in the media.
- Manuel Castells
the media are not the holders of power, but they constitute by and large the space where power is decided.
- Manuel Castells
The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.
- Michel De Certeau
Often, what you see in the media is driven by economic forces.
- Iris Chang
In certain areas where the media are still controlled, the changes have come to a halt, which is a very frustrating situation. I would like the changes to take place throughout China.
- Jung Chang
People have accepted the media's idea of what feminism is, but that doesn't mean that it's right or true or real. Feminism is not monolithic. Within feminism, there is an array of opinions.
- Judy Chicago
All I want is for people to listen to it with unbiased ears, and decide for themselves. I just don't want them to be dictated to by the media, or have preconceptions about it. If you like it, great. If you don't, fair enough.

Public opinion can be influential, the media can be influential.
- Noam Chomsky
The status quo and the media is doing everything it can to fry children's brains and make them grow up maladjusted.
- Julie Christie
One of my goals upon becoming Secretary of State was to take diplomacy out of capitals, out of government offices, into the media, into the streets of countries.
- Hillary Clinton
You can go into neighborhoods in the United States where people dress a certain way because they don't want to be out of touch, where boys wear pants down to their knees, which nobody has compelled them to do but they pick up the cultural norms, or where girls are improperly dressed by my eyes, but that's what they see in the media.
- Hillary Clinton
Everybody just lets the media do their thinking for them... that's why you'll never hear any reggae on the radio!
- Daniel Clowes
The fact that this is getting released, and people are just now hearing it, kind of tickles me. This is just awesome that the media is excited to talk to me and find out what's happening.
- Jessi Colter
Young writers if they are to mature require a period of between three and seven years in which to live down their promise. Promise is like the mediaeval hangman who after settling the noose, pushed his victim off the platform and jumped on his back, his weight acting a drop while his jockeying arms prevented the unfortunate from loosening the rope. When he judged him dead he dropped to the ground.
- Cyril Connolly
I sat down and collected all of our eleven sales for the past six months and I added them all together and divided by eleven. I then took that average and presented it as the average price for a Manhattan apartment. The media ate it up.
- Barbara Corcoran
The show is a satire, which gives us freedom to do anything we want. Satire is the magic word that wipes away any culpability. The media is jealous of this freedom.
- Rob Corddry
When Captain America died, Americans heard it in an American way: through the media. When Captain Britain died, the British felt it in their chests.
- Paul Cornell
They have been talking about a dictatorship and they were right because there's a dictatorship and there's a government that has been fighting that dictatorship, the dictatorship of the media.
- Rafael Correa
Already liberals are trying to rewrite the history of the Cold War to remove Reagan from its core, to make him a doddering B-movie actor who happened to be standing there when the Soviet Union imploded. They have the media, the universities, the textbooks. We have ourselves. We are the witnesses.
- Ann Coulter
The Petersons have not come forward in the press. Apparently they feel the media bears a large responsibility for Scott's conviction. It may be a while before we hear anything from them.
- Catherine Crier
I will not quit this game because of what the media has done to me.
- Michael Jordan
I think it is absolutely essential in a democracy to have competition in the media, a lot of competition, and we seem to be moving away from that.
- Walter Cronkite
I'm not one of those actors who needs the media spotlight all the time to feel gratified. I'm happy to do one project a year and take the rest of the year off as long as that project is special.
- Macaulay Culkin
There is a real hunger for information about Obama and a sense that information is not being covered or, in some cases, even being withheld. There is a sense that there are elements of the media that are protective of Obama, that they would rather block a story that is embarassing about Obama than let the American public decide.
- Dinesh Dsouza
The media tries to do what they do. You can't stop. You gotta get money.
- Trick Daddy
I wish the Libertarian Party would get more play in the media but they don't.
- Glenn Danzig
It's how the news becomes so powerful it doesn't need TV or newspapers. It exists in people's perceptions. It's something they invent, strong enough to seem real. It's the news without the media.
- Don Delillo
There is no method by which an average citizen can effectively fight the White House in the media.
- Linda Tripp
The first problem of the media is posed by what does not get translated, or even published in the dominant political languages.
- Jacques Derrida
We all learn in school that the judicial, legislative and executive branches of government must check and balance each other. But other non state institutions must participate in this important system of checks and balances as well. These checking institutions include the academy, the media, religious institutions and NGOs.
- Alan Dershowitz
The main thing that gives me hope is the media. We have radio, TV, magazines, and books, so we have the possibility of learning from societies that are remote from us, like Somalia. We turn on the TV and see what blew up in Iraq or we see conditions in Afghanistan.
- Jared Diamond
Before Katrina, you didn't see criticism of the Bush administration in the media. Here they are, stealing elections, enacting illegal wars, huge crimes against humanity and democracy, and you didn't even see criticism. It wasn't until Katrina that people started to come down on them.
- Ani Difranco
The mediation by the serpent was necessary. Evil can seduce man, but cannot become man.
- Franz Kafka
But since we've been fighting for first or second place, it's grabbed the media's attention. I enjoy racing them. They are a good team and when you beat them it's something to be proud of.
- Larry Dixon
The media only wants to get the view of the flaming radicals because they make better copy than those of us who are more sensible. I'm a feminist and I think I've done a lot of good.
- Betty Dodson
So this is all part of a free society. People are entitled to hold whatever view they want, and the media can report things how they wish.
- Alexander Downer
The media is comparable to government-probably passes government in raw power.
- Matt Drudge
I never had the financial means that the media said I had. I laugh when I hear the amounts, $400 million, $800 million. Where do they get this imagination?
- Jean Claude Duvalier
An office occupation is another example as not only douse it disrupt the activities of the organization it also can raise the media profile of the campaign.
- Ben Edwards
Ought 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 Thatcher
One minute you're a developing athlete trying to get to the top, then the next minute you do well and win a medal somewhere, and then it's all foisted on you. You never know when it's going to happen. You don't think about the media side of things when you're a young athlete trying to do well.
- Jessica Ennis
The belief that we are what the media says we are, what people perceive we are, is soon to be what we think we are. We are treated based on this warped perception. It is hard to get away from it.
- Kevin Eubanks
The media and the rest of popular culture weren't recording people's reactions to 9/11; they were forcing made-up reactions down people's throats.
- Susan Faludi
Nobody has ever built a reliable peer-to-peer service, where people can really access all the music they want in one location,... Once I got it into my head, I couldn't imagine the media space without one.
- Shawn Fanning
I have invested the best part of my adult political life in helping to try to build up this movement and I am far from perfect but I do think I am able, through the media, to deliver a good, simple, understandable message.
- Nigel Farage
You want to come home from a tournament with a winner's medal. That's not the fans or the media putting us under pressure, that's the pressure we put ourselves under.
- Rio Ferdinand
It's hard to know now who, if anyone, in the media has any credibility.
- Howard Fineman
Madonna is a pro. I don't like her and have no respect for her but- I don't think she should be called a musician or a dancer or whatever you know, but I do have, well I do have respect for her ability to completely manipulate the media and have them work for her.
- Jon Fishman
I think opera has gained a kind of glamorous appeal. It's a live performance that aligns all of the arts, and when it is represented in the media, in film in particular, it is presented as something that is really a special event, whether it's a great date or something that's just hugely romantic.
- Renee Fleming
On several occasions, I discussed with Bill Clinton the subject of inquiries by the media about our relationship. He told me to continue to deny our relationship, that if we would stick together, everything would be okay.
- Gennifer Flowers
I don't talk about who I'm dating because when you break up, you wind up reliving it in the media.
- Bridget Fonda
The biases the media has are much bigger than conservative or liberal. They're about getting ratings, about making money, about doing stories that are easy to cover.
- Al Franken
To make the argument that the media has a left- or right-wing, or a liberal or a conservative bias, is like asking if the problem with Al-Qaeda is do they use too much oil in their hummus.
- Al Franken
Look, the media are trapped by changes in the technology and business of their industry.
- David Frum
A generation ago, or two, when there were three channels, plus PBS, and when you needed - when you needed 15 million people to make a living, the media could focus on the broad country. And most people had no choice about getting political information. It was there at 6:30 whether you wanted it or not.
- David Frum
One of the problems that we face through the media attention that these artists receive is that there has been an awful lot of talk about opera and classical music being elite and being for an elitist group.
- Lesley Garrett
And given that there's been probably a ten-fold amount of information about terrorism through the media than there has about climate change; I think that's quite an interesting statistic.
- Peter Garrett
The creation continues incessantly through the media of man.
- Antonio Gaudi
Whenever the media do try to pick it up, it slides like a lone noodle from their chopsticks.
- William Gibson
I feel like there is just as much violent programming in other countries and there is not the same incidence of factors. I think there are other factors contributing to violence in this country and not the media.
- Sara Gilbert
Whoever controls the media, the images, controls the culture.
- Allen Ginsberg
The manufacture of desire isn't at the heart - if it isn't absurd to speak of a heart - of the media torrent. Chronic dissatisfaction is at the heart of the matter.
- Todd Gitlin
I don't think anyone in the media thinks strategically about society.
- Todd Gitlin
Navigation is power of a limited sort - it enables us to manage the immensity of the media torrent.
- Todd Gitlin
The best example of how impossible it will be for Major League Baseball to crack down on steroids is the fact that baseball and the media are still talking about the problem as "steroids."
- Malcolm Gladwell
If you are in the job for glamour, you're in for the shock of your life. The media is a huge shark pool.
- Trisha Goddard
I respect very much the role of the media in our society; I think they can be very, very helpful. They serve as a very useful check, sort of a watchdog over the actions of the government, and I respect that.
- Alberto Gonzales
The media is absolutely essential to the functioning of a democracy. It's not our job to cozy up to power. We're supposed to be the check and balance on government.

The media's about to become a lot more effective.
- Joseph Gordonlevitt
Past conference topics have included strengthening the role of fathers in children's lives, the impact of the media culture on children, the delicate balance between work and family, and family involvement in education.

Always be nice to bankers. Always be nice to pension fund managers. Always be nice to the media. In that order.

It shifted attention away from that and I've never been someone who liked the attention from the media anyway.

The influence of blogging is overall a very positive force in the media.
- Garrett Graff
Why is it you assholes always feel the need to tell the media your evil plans before you kill us?" asked Becks. "Is it a union requirement or something?
- Mira Grant
The media no longer hesitate to whip up lurid anxieties in order to increase sales, in the process undermining social confidence and multiplying fears.
- A C Grayling
I am very conscious of what I say and do when I go out because the media is quick to make that a story.
- Justin Guarini
We citizens don't need to know every detail of every military operation in this new kind of war. Nor should the media tell us and hence our enemy.
- David Hackworth
There are a lot of things and in order to be at the top and maintain your focus you have to have something that motivates you. For me, it was what I perceived as a lack of respect from the boxing world as well as the media, which made me want to work so hard and be great.
- Marvin Hagler
I think the media's a little frightened of women.
- Nikki Haley
It's really important to remember that most people in the public eye are human for a start and a lot of things that you read in the media get slightly misconstrued and manipulated.
- Geri Halliwell
The media. It sounds like a convention of spiritualists.
- Tom Stoppard
It's an image that the media has given me as a bad girl, and the only reason they gave me that image is just because of the few things that have gone wrong in my life, and also because I grew up living in a trailer.
- Tonya Harding
The fact is, the media never gets off the interstate unless there's a major explosion.
- Jim Harrison
There was no doubt that in the early and mid-eighties that many of us in broadsheet newspapers felt that we still had a responsibility to try to protect the Royal Family or if you like protect the Monarchy from the assaults of the media.
- Max Hastings
All Americans value the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press, and I believe this is essential for our continued way of life. But with this freedom comes responsibility. That responsibility has been abdicated here by some in the media and some in the government.
- Steven Hatfill
The media need superheroes in science just as in every sphere of life, but there is really a continuous range of abilities with no clear dividing line.
- Stephen Hawking
I worked in the media from the late 30's through the early 70's. Politics in general became more liberal both nationally and within the state as the years passed.
- Jesse Helms
But today we become aware of other readings of the human experience very quickly because of the media and the speed with which people travel the planet.
- Chaim Potok
I was a scapegoat. The media had to put responsibility on somebody, and I was chosen. They felt free to say that because someone was thin they were anorexic, which is ridiculous.
- Kate Moss
Such was the number of the barbarians, that when they shot forth their arrows the sun would be darkened by their multitude." Dieneces, not at all frightened at these words, but making light of the Median numbers, answered "Our Trachinian friend brings us excellent tidings. If the Medes darken the sun, we shall have our fight in the shade.
- Herodotus
I was just absolutely exhausted. The media said I've been treated for a nervous breakdown. All that stuff I just took as people taking the opportunity when you're down to give you a kick.
- John Hewson
When I signed the license, I thought the media wasn't going to pick up on it if I used my real name, Nicholai Hilton.
- Nicky Hilton
I think her friends were worried that the bulimia might come back, about some psychological slide, and she was given breathing space to some extent by the media as much as she ever has been.
- Anthony Holden
In Modernism, reality used to validate media. In Postmodernism, the media validate reality. If you don't believe this, just think how many times you've described some real event as being 'just like a movie.'
- Brad Holland
Through a blog, an ordinary citizen such as myself can use the Internet, this thing invented by Albert Gore, to talk from my house to the U.S. capital and to make use of my right to point out to government officials and to the media when they are wrong.
- John Jay Hooker
Safety on our highways has improved significantly, with the help of the Legislature and the media.
- Jane D Hull
I never take ideas from the headlines. I feel that if a story is good enough, a real story that is, then it's already been covered by the media, and if it's not good enough, why would I want to bother with it?
- Evan Hunter
It just is nothing foreign to consciousness at all that could present itself to consciousness through the mediation of phenomena different from the liking itself; to like is intrinsically to be conscious.
- Edmund Husserl
This Power Elite directly employs several millions of the country's working force in its factories, offices and stores, controls many millions more by lending them the money to buy its products, and, through its ownership of the media of mass communication, influences the thoughts, the feelings and the actions of virtually everybody. To parody the words of W. Churchill, never have so many been manipulated so much by few.
- Aldous Huxley
'Through the times I've gone through the last couple of weeks - and I'm still trying to help a friend - I got attacked pretty hard through the media, and it hurt and it was devastating, but I really found out who was with me and who was there for me.
- Michael Irvin
For governments at war, the media is an instrument of war or an element in war that is to be controlled.
- Bruce Jackson
The media is not at all homogeneous in the way it tells us about war.
- Bruce Jackson
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
The media bring our wars home, but only rarely have they been able to do it in complete freedom.
- Bruce Jackson
It is not at all clear how much the media influences public opinion and how much public opinion influences the media.
- Bruce Jackson
The US military still blames the media for stories and images that turned the American public against the war in Vietnam.
- Bruce Jackson
Some people are probably scratching their heads and saying, How did that happen? That's because some of the media didn't give the public the full story.
- Tito Jackson
But, we didn't have all the media that we do today.
- Wanda Jackson
If enough money is involved and enough people believe that two plus two equals five the media will report the story with a straight face always adding a qualifying paragraph noting that mathematicians however say that two plus two still equals four.
- Susan Jacoby
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
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
Oftentimes in a society when people of a certain type, whether individual or a group, are subconsciously portrayed by the media as abnormal, they also slowly, subconsciously become enemies of that society due to feelings of cultural guilt. Ultimately by this the inflated media is an enemy of its very own cause.
- Criss Jami
Love begets wisdom, thus it is, as often misconceived, more than vain layers of tenderness; it is inherently rational and comprehensive of the problem within the problem: for instance, envy is one of the most excused sins in the media of political correctness. Those you find most attractive, or seem to have it all, are often some of the most insecure at heart, and that is because people assume that they do not need anything but defamation.

Every book I write, the media just keeps punching me in the face.

I think relationships are broken up because of the media.

The Chinese people have been forced to forget the Tiananmen massacre. There has been no public debate about the event, no official apology. The media aren't allowed to mention it. Still today people are being persecuted and imprisoned for disseminating information about it.
- Ma Jian
Yeah, right. I mean, he criticises everybody in the media, then the first thing he does when he finishes is he goes to work for the media. Thompson, too. Hypocritical.
- Ian St John
The American people were really not 100% convinced that this idea of default was really going to occur, and I think the media, current company excepted here, did not help in that regard because they confused the American people about what default actually meant.
- Bill Johnson
It is possible to have a pretty good life and career being a leech and a parasite in the media world, gadding about from TV studio to TV studio, writing inconsequential pieces and having a good time.
- Boris Johnson
With literature, sometimes a book is presented in the media as being say, a Muslim story or an African story, when essentially it's a universal story which we can all relate to it, no matter what race or social background we come from.
- Shawn Johnson
I have had some pretty wild nights! I think the media keeps a very close eye on what people are up to these days. I was out with George Clooney a few nights ago and we had a great time.
- Tom Jones
If you had to point to one thing that made it less likely that the Red Sox would win the World Series, I would say it was those people that go to Fenway Park to watch the games. And then the media around it.
- Michael Lewis
The media works in sound bites. They can make you look like a genius or stupid.
- Kato Kaelin
I was never OJ's closest pal, and the media would say that over and over, but I wasn't his enemy either.

For example, students of policy have noted that the availability heuristic
helps explain why some issues are highly salient in the public's mind while
others are neglected. People tend to assess the relative importance of
issues by the ease with which they are retrieved from memoryand this is
largely determined by the extent of coverage in the media
- Daniel Kahneman
Tell me, why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognise our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?
- Abdul Kalam
I would rather have been beaten up in the media than live a life that wasn't happy.
- Kim Kardashian
The real political life in Russia unfortunately is not in the parliament but on the streets and in the media.

I think the media made Manson, turned him into some larger than life figure and surrounded him with mystery and some shady glamour.
- Maynard James Keenan
With 24-hour news... the story moves on with the media.

When we, through our educational culture, through the media, through the entertainment culture, give our children the impression that human beings cannot control their passions, we are telling them, in effect, that human beings cannot be trusted with freedom.
- Alan Keyes
It is stupid on my part to think of banning the media.

Music itself was color-blind but the media and the radio stations segregate it based on their perceptions of the artists.
- Anthony Kiedis
If you look at the media now all of the hosts of these other shows are interviewing themselves. The guests are a prop for the hosts on these cable networks. The guests for me are always the paramount.
- Larry King
When the media ask George W. Bush a question, he answers, 'Can I use a lifeline?'
- Robin Williams
Once the World Cup preparations begin there will hardly be an opportunity to do so, since we'll have to put all our energy into the team. We coaches have a list of priorities and dealing with the media isn't in the top five.
- Jurgen Klinsmann
It's just that what's important there is different there than what's important is here. Here, people care that you wrote a book or that you work in the media.
- Chuck Klosterman
Yeah, I have been because, generally speaking, to we Biblical literalists, the media is very hostile.
- Tim Lahaye
The media is looking every season for a designer to tell a story. I have a long story I have to tell, continuing fluently year after year.
- Helmut Lang
When all the media assertions were put together, the police appeared to be hunting for a psychotic lesbian who had joined a cult of Satanists that propagandized for S&M sex and hated society in general and men in particular. Because Salander had been abroad for the past year, there might be international connections too.
- Stieg Larsson
