“Voting, we might even say, is the next to last refuge of the politically impotent. The last refuge is, of course, giving your opinion to a pollster, who will get a version of it through a desiccated question, and then will submerge it in a Niagara of similar opinions, and convert them into--what else?--another piece of news. Thus we have here a great loop of impotence: The news elicits from you a variety of opinions about which you can do nothing except to offer them as more news, about which you can do nothing.”
― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business

“Usually I spare myself from the news, because if it’s not propaganda, then it’s one threat or another exaggerated to the point of absurdity, or it’s the tragedy of storm-quake-tsunami, of bigotry and oppression misnamed justice, of hatred passed off as righteousness and honor called dishonorable, all jammed in around advertisements in which a gecko sells insurance, a bear sells toilet tissue, a dog sells cars, a gorilla sells investment advisers, a tiger sells cereal, and an elephant sells a drug that will improve your lung capacity, as if no human being in America any longer believes any other human being, but trusts only the recommendations of animals.”
― Dean Koontz, Deeply Odd

“(O)n a whole range of issues, there has been a massive popular shift in public opinion toward a progressive critique of the current political economic system. It is, of course, largely subliminal, not carefully worked out, and lacks a coherent vision for what needs to be done -- but there can be little doubt that this shift has happened, and is deepening. People are increasingly disenchanted, and they are hungry for alternatives.”
― Dr. Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed introduction to Censored 2013

― Terry Pratchett, The Truth: Stage Adaptation

“He was after a sensational story and this, of course, could not be constructed out of mere truth; not out of officially released truth, anyway.

― Richard Adams, The Plague Dogs

― Yukio Mishima, The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea

“Photographs shock insofar as they show something novel.”
― Susan Sontag, On Photography

“Rumors spread faster than news and news spreads faster than the happenings”
― Amit Abraham

“The news can be poison to your soul, don't let it kill your joy, be compassionate but not consumed. Be empathetic not enraged.”
― Rob Liano

“News is unusual things happeningâ€� And usual things happening [...] But news is mainly what someone somewhere doesn't want you to put in the paperâ€� Except that sometimes it isn't [...] News, [...] all depends. But you'll know it when you see it.”
― Terry Pratchett, The Truth: Stage Adaptation

“Good news is, I'm still alive. Bad news is, Bitches be crazy.”
― Ksenia Solo as Kenzi

“What 'primitive' men called gossip, 'civilized' men call news.”

evil wins and peace is slaughtered.
Change the channel, change the view,
tired of the same reruns on the evening news.”

“Of course, in television's presentation of the "news of the day," we may see the Now...this" mode of discourse in it's boldest and most embarrassing form. For there, we are presented not only with fragmented news but news without context, without consequences, without value, and therefore without essential seriousness; that is to say, news as pure entertainment.”
― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business

“There just seems to be too much violence everywhere, even the news can't help break now and then on TV”

Japanese earthquake kills 12,000. Worldwide cholera epidemic kills millions. Wages rise, but prices rise faster. Financial crash occurs on Van Buren's 36th day in office. Nation begins first great depression. Bank failures and closings spread like plague. 200,000 are unemployed. Business bankrupt; only pawnbrokers prosper. Van Buren declares ten-hour days on all federal jobs. There. Does that make you feel any better?”
― Donald Harington, The Architecture of the Arkansas Ozarks
