“It struck me that there is a reason James Madison put freedom of speech and freedom of the press in the very first amendment. If we can't speak out, if we cannot challenge those in power, there is no guaranteeing the rights that follow.”
― Jonathan Karl, Front Row at the Trump Show

“This is precisely why the mainstream media’s language has failed us, it has not been telling us what we really need to know, because their language marches in step with that of the bankers, warmongers, oppressors, and executioners. We need a new language of radical love not radical hate.”
― Louis Yako

“But the forecasters and media types were clever - they never used vague words like "maybe." No, they stuck with convenient terms for which no one could be held accountable, like "probability of precipitation.”
― Haruki Murakami, Killing Commendatore

“The great growling engine of change â€� technology.”
― Alvin Toffler

“Our understanding of what is really 'newsworthy' is a misunderstanding.”
― Louis Yako

“Don’t let the politicians bought and sold in the political markets, the chosen “analystsâ€�, the assigned “expertsâ€�, the co-opted writers on the Empire’s payroll tell you what is newsworthy. Don’t listen to all those who are more interested in fame, in standing on the podiums of arrogance and sitting to dine at the tables of triviality tell you what is newsworthy.”
― Louis Yako

“The worst kind of losers are those who silently scavenge for your past mistakes and present them to the public as latest news.”
― Michael Bassey Johnson, The Book of Maxims, Poems and Anecdotes

“And, as a reporter, sometimes you need to fight back. If the president declares real stories fake, the record must be corrected. If a president attempts to block reporters from covering the work of his administration, we need to fight back. If a president attempts to use the tools of law enforcement to target reporters for doing their jobs, reporters and news organizations need to fight back.”
― Jonathan Karl, Front Row at the Trump Show

“Maar sy kyk nie meer nuus nie. Sy lees ook nie meer koerant nie. Reg en verkeerd, waarheid en leuen is strome wat deurmekaar geloop het in een rivier, jy kry dit nie meer uitmekaar geskep nie.”
― Dalene Matthee, Brug van die esels

“The news was progressing so rapidly in 2020 that I was having a hard time keeping up with it.”
― Steven Magee

“I have given up newspapers in exchange for Tacitus and Thucydides, for Newton and Euclid; and I find myself much the happier.”
― Thomas Jefferson

“I have learned that all these people are more newsworthy than we have been told all along. Do you know why? Because these people are us. I am all of these people. You are all of these people. But the media seldom represents our worthiness fairly in the news. The media may only decide we are newsworthy when using us as bait stories to go to wars, to put the show of a fake democracy as part of the big lie called “votingâ€� and “electingâ€� the next liar to commit more crimes in our names, by killing more innocent people in the next selected ‘evilâ€� country in the world.”
― Louis Yako

“The most unliterary reader of all sticks to 'the news'. He reads daily, with unwearied relish, how, in some place he has never seen, under circumstances which never become quite clear, someone he doesn't know has married, rescued, robbed, raped, or murdered someone else he doesn't know.”
― C.S. Lewis, An Experiment in Criticism

“Was engaging with world issues a defense mechanism to trivialize personal pain, or was I doing it to be aware and responsible?”
― Ava Homa, Daughters of Smoke and Fire

“In a situation like that, it is the reporter's responsibility either to get an answer or to demonstrate that the politicians are ignoring the questions.”
― Jonathan Karl, Front Row at the Trump Show

“The proliferation of news outlets and the democratization of information through the internet gives Americans the power to be more informed than ever, but it also makes it easier for us to feast on a diet of information that echoes and never challenges our biases and our beliefs. This deepens our divisions and makes them more difficult to overcome.”
― Jonathan Karl, Front Row at the Trump Show

“The news is a never-ending horror movie and nobody knows how it's going to end”
― Damian Barr, You Will Be Safe Here

“Old news: Russia is carnivorous.---New news: now carnivorous beyond its borders.

Sort-of-new news: this country never stopped being carnivorous.---America's eye, more technologically avian, looks into every home.---News: we might need a different word than home.”
― Olga Livshin, A Life Replaced: Poems with Translations from Anna Akhmatova and Vladimir Gandelsman

“For every lunatic who takes up a gun and starts shooting people, there are billions of other people who don’t, but we never hear about them. The reality is, our human experience, from a statistical point of view, is almost entirely peaceful.”
― Colin R. Turner, Into The Open Economy: How Everything You Know About The World Is About To Change

“They say detailed news doesn’t matter. Since we can’t change the stupid, greedy, vicious things that powerful people do, they think we should try to ignore them. No matter how many times we’re forced to admit we can’t really hide, some of us still find ways to try. Well, we can’t hide. So it’s best to pay attention to what goes on. The more we know, the better able we’ll be to survive.”
― Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents

“Technology like art is a soaring exercise of the human imagination.”
― Daniel Bell

“I was watching a news channel the other day and fell asleep waiting for the fact.”
― Péter Zilahy

“The freedom of press ends when it is fair to some, and fearful to all.”
― Mantaranjot Mangat, Plotless

“If you approach your guardian spirit with prayer or meditation before bed, before falling asleep, your angel can send you messages through your dreams. you're more receptive to angelic messages once you are asleep than once you are awake for several reasons.”
― Interpret Your Guardian Angel's Messages

“I didn't become a reporter to dutifully record the words of the people in power. I became a reporter, in part, to hold those in power accountable.”
― Jonathan Karl, Front Row at the Trump Show

― Jonathan Karl, Front Row at the Trump Show

― De philosopher DJ Kyos

“I’d rather listen to the ramblings of a drunkard than get myself engrossed with the media and its appalling news.”
― Michael Bassey Johnson, The Book of Maxims, Poems and Anecdotes

“It's easy to know if you have an Apollo case. The cops talk in whispers. They sip their coffee as if it tastes of the celebrity blood they've just wiped off their shoes. Carloads of FBI Special Agents point at maps and charts, pretending to know what they're talking about. But when the whole media circus arrives and pitches its tents all round the corpses, you know the ratings are going to the moon. That's why they're Apollos. Everyone will tune in. They all want to know. Take a seat. Apollo cases don't happen to ordinary Joes like you and me. They're reserved for the celebrities we've envied all our lives until their bloodstained bodies stare at us from the front pages of our newspapers. Then we're glad we're different from them.”
― Adam Jefferson, The Jesus Drug: The Miracle Pill

“The Independent used to be a good newspaper, until it became a viewspaper. Why should anyone pay to read the views of some commentator in The Independent when he could just as easily freely read the blog of some person on the internet who may be much funnier, more controversial, more radical, more interesting, more intelligent â€� and a better writer? Newspaper commentators are simply bloggers who get paid: grandiose, self-deluded bloggers in other words.”
― Adam Weishaupt, The Revolt of the Spectacular Society
