In the corporate media, there is almost no criticism of corporations or American empire.

What’s different now is that while political leaders used to give talking points to talk radio, now talk-radio hosts are giving talking points to political leaders.

Bobby Brown
The media tries to do what they do. You can’t stop. You gotta get money.

I get 0.5 seconds to react to a ball, sometimes even less than that. I can’t be thinking of what XYZ has said about me. I need to surrender myself to my natural instincts. My subconscious mind knows exactly what to do. It is trained to react. At home, my family doesn’t discuss media coverage.
I’m active on social media because that’s such a big reason why K-pop and Korean music performs the way it does.
I hate whenever there’s a social issue that comes up in golf and people in the mainstream media who hate golf and who’ve conjured up all these stereotypes of people who are in the sport, the way they tear it down… I resent it, and I’ll defend golf and people in golf until my dying day.
I’m very hands-on about social media. That’s my voice.
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.

As I discovered in my media manipulations, the information that finds us online – what spreads – is the worst kind. It raised itself above the din not through its value, importance, or accuracy but through the opposite: through slickness, titillation, and polarity.

The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western world. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity – much less dissent.

You can still say whatever you want to say on social media, but you have to be willing to stand by your words.
Imagine being 30 years old, thinking you were a media titan, and now you are labeled a ‘scam artist.’

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, a country of few but nonetheless good films, it is almost impossible to produce a film without access to various European initiatives and funds. Creative Europe and its media program are essential for our film industry.
Danis Tanovic
I feel like it’s social media that’s opened that door. We’re able to accumulate and generate our own fan base. Once we do that and put our own work in, labels take notice that we have our own following.
Bra-burning never happened. It was completely made up by the media. A couple of women protesting a Miss America pageant threw some bras into a garbage can, and somehow that became this longstanding idea of feminists as bra-burners.
For a profession that holds dear both the ability to vivisect politicians in prose and the expectation that these carved-up subjects will not complain, the media is horribly thin-skinned and vengeance-seeking when on the receiving end of criticism.
I never like to get political, but when you have the ability, through your media, to influence a large mass of people, I would want to be a part of the evolving cycle of progress vs. keeping things the way that they are.
The world for our law enforcement community has changed dramatically: everything from filling out paperwork to relationships with the community and how they think the narrative is in the media.
I don’t want to make some super cliche comment about how much more acceptable gaming is. I think it was always acceptable for me and my peers. But I think it’s become more so in pop culture, media, stuff like that – people with money have discovered that they can make money by marketing to us.
The special reverence that al Qaeda had for Sheikh Rahman was underlined by a two-hour propaganda videotape that the group’s media division released in the spring of 2001, when the 9/11 attacks were in their final planning phase.
I think media has lost its way. We must recognize that the proprietors of these organizations have put on a form of censorship. Basically, they’re more interested in celebrity, narcissism, rich people, good-looking people, and successful sportsmen.
The EU can lead the world toward more humane technology. But doing so requires thinking more broadly about reining in social media platforms to prevent them from degrading our democracies.
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.

Pre-poll surveys receive different reaction in the media among voters and political parties. For example, the more undecided voters are, the greater the role and effect of pre-poll surveys. Similarly, greater the decline of the party system, the more influential their role.
N. Bhaskara Rao
With today’s mass media obsession, it’s good to be able to raise awareness about our environment.
Robin McLeavy
Working on ‘Fresh Off the Boat‘ has been really enlightening to me because it’s made me actually think about the roles that Asians and Asian-American women have played in media. Not because I didn’t think it was important before, but because before, I was really focused on just paying my rent.
The Republicans ought to be nowhere near trying to help Obama save his bacon. But they don’t think that’s what they’re doing, I’m convinced. You talk about trauma and the need for therapy, I really think that the Republicans have been genuinely psychologically traumatized by decades of media criticism.
I think social media has taken over for our generation. It’s a big part of our lives, and it’s kind of sad.
Mass media provides the essential link between the individual and the demands of the technological society.
Jacques Ellul
We need to understand that we are not each others’ enemies in this country. And it is only the political class that derives its power by creating friction. It is only the media that derives its importance by creating friction… that uses every little thing to create this chasm between people. This is not who we are.
You see, I get a lot of love and appreciation from the elders of the film industry as well as from the media fraternity by default because of the goodwill that my father has earned.
I think social media is very long-lasting. I just don’t know the particular thing with Twitter.
When I did ‘Jerry Springer: The Opera,’ there was a big fuss, largely centered around the misrepresentation of its content. Had Twitter existed then, that would have been over in a week because people who had actually seen it would have been able to get control of the story through social media.
This brought on the news media, TV crews, interviews, a

This brought on the news media, TV crews, interviews, and numerous public appearances.
Ryan White
Performance art can involve the audience with taste, smell and sounds not available with electronic media and not practical with conventional theater. This is due to the usually small audience.
I also focus on Bush and his administration – who do a lot of lying – and how a right-wing media has allowed them to get away with a lot of stuff that, in a different media environment, they probably wouldn’t be able to get away with.
When I governed, the overwhelming mindset of the media was to dismiss out of hand any suggestion that anything happening to me was in any way related to gender.
Facebook’s data trove is enviable, and its moves into nearly every aspect of our lives – from payment to media, will create even more of it. The company also has created a huge base of developers for its platform, but the ecosystem is incomplete compared to vertically integrated OSes like iOS, Mac or Windows.
What a lot of people don’t realise about me is that I have no idea what’s going on in the media. I don’t pay any attention to it, as I consider it mind pollution. The last time I touched a computer was in 2001, and my phone is too old to use the Internet. I just don’t enter into it at all on any level.
I would like to point to the extraordinary lengths the mainstream media will go to maintain a sensationalist story.
I don’t think I’m an angry person. I think I’m a person who’s angry. I’m angry at the Bush administration; I’m angry at the right wing media. And by that I don’t mean the media is right wing. I mean, there is a part of the media that’s not the mainstream media. That’s Fox, that is ‘The Wall Street Journal’ editorial page.
Here’s a nation, one of the founding pillars was freedom of speech and freedom of expression. And yet, we have imposed upon people restrictions on what they can say, on what they can think. And the media is the largest proponent of this, crucifying people who say things really quite innocently.
The truth is that the more responsible the media outlet, the more responsive they are to constructive criticism.
The problem is that when Argentina doesn’t play well – and the same is true of Barcelona – the press think it is easy to blame Messi. We have seen time and time again that he wins games on his own when the team is not performing – but the media expect him to always be the hero.
In this age of globalization, instant real time media and television, everyone all over the world realizes that high energy usage equates with a high standard of living and wealth.
Now that our media companies and it appears are policies are traded for cash, what is there to check the continuing consolidation of power and diminishing of democracy?
I write for fun. I had written a kind of media satire, but I doubt it will see the light of day. It was just a personal project.
Social media can help or hurt you. People are more into other people’s lives than their own. Everyone sees everyone else’s success online, and we allow it to magnify our own failure.
Social media is a double-edged sword. I’ve gotten in trouble for announcing, too soon, something that the network or the studio wanted to do, and it steals some of the thunder, so to speak.
‘Authoring tools‘ are terrible; there is almost no software that can create closed captions for media players. And of course there is no training. TV captioning is bad enough, and this stuff is generally worse.
Joe Clark
One of the reasons I don’t trust the media is you can’t have a double standard for guys you like and dislike.
But I learned first-hand how the news media operates by watching how they interpreted, changed, and misrepresented my intentions.
Joey Skaggs
Media, the plural of mediocrity.
I never really had experienced hate in school with girls and boys. What I do experience is social media, and so every day, people comment, ‘You’re fat, you’re ugly, you’re rude, you’re all this stuff,’ and I just don’t like it at all. I don’t want anyone to have to go through that.
Whoever controls the media, the images, controls the culture.
TV is changing in terms of how we are consuming sports. Appointment viewing no longer exists, as between social media and the Internet, people already have the news and can get the highlights – so now people want the opinions.
Anyone who ghettoizes any form of media is a fool.
Bryan Lourd
Al Jazeera has abandoned even the semblance of a credible media outlet, and it broadcasts – both within Gaza and outside it, to the world – anti-Semitic incitement, lies, provocation, and encouragement to terrorists.

Media outlets that are exploiting Ebola because they want a sensational story and politicians using it to their own ends ought to be ashamed.
I grew up in a family where no one had written a newspaper or magazine article about anybody in my family for a hundred years, right? Then, all of a sudden, we’re getting one millennium‘s worth of media attention in six months.
I think people respond to dystopian stories because they’re ways of acting out anxieties that we have and fears that we have about the future. So much media’s coming at you over the Internet, your brain gets overloaded. You don’t know what to do with it. And one thing you can do with it is read a story.
For politicians to be honest, the public needs to allow them to be honest, and the media, which mediates between the politicians and the public, needs to allow those politicians to be honest. If local democracy is to flourish, it is about the active and informed engagement of every citizen.
John D. Rockefeller wanted to dominate oil, but Microso

John D. Rockefeller wanted to dominate oil, but Microsoft wants it all, you name it: cable, media, banking, car dealerships.

I don’t do social media.
I have a saddened and weakening attitude toward the media and press.
In England, especially, mentally if you’re not strong it can eat you up. There’s the media, all the negativity surrounding footballers. If you’re not mentally strong, it can eat you.
I’m competing with myself to outdo previous achievements, but I can’t feel any pressure from the fans, the media or the people at all because I know what I’m capable of.
It’s a huge mistake not to embrace social media. We need to stay in touch and stay relevant to young people.
We think of Starbucks not as a coffee company but a media company.
In an ideal world, judges are not supposed to read or be influenced by media reports. But it is difficult to ignore television news which does not distinguish between reportage and comment.

The impact of the Vietnam War on TV made everyone recognize the importance of visual media.
The no-secrets era of social media makes one consider the built-in risk factor of nominating high-testosterone men to positions of power at all. Everyone is under too much scrutiny now to take a chance on candidates who suddenly blow up into a comic meme, a punchline, a ribald hashtag.
Post-modernism has cut off the present from all futures. The daily media add to this by cutting off the past. Which means that critical opinion is often orphaned in the present.
The Democratic Media Complex, in its pursuit of Orwellian hate-crime legislation, reparations, and sundry non-ameliorative resolutions to America’s troubled racial past, pursues its victims with blood lust.
Social media has given us this idea that we should all have a posse of friends when in reality, if we have one or two really good friends, we are lucky.
If the League were real, today, they’d most likely be sued by every person they ever saved. They’d be subpoenaed by every authority in every jurisdiction imaginable; hearings upon hearings. There’d be waves of accolades followed by tsunamis of boos from social media.

Playing a cop on TV and working closely with actual cops on set, I do think the media does a disservice to our first responders.
Jesse Lee Soffer
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.
Social media can sometimes influence the charts, but I think that only great music makes it to the top. The good songs make it.
Social media is social. We’re looking to touch one heart at a time. With one great story at a time.

On the Northern Ireland question, for instance, the British and Irish governments prohibit media contact with members of the IRA, but we have always gone ahead, believing in the right to information.
I work harder than every single person I know, and the only person that is on the same level as me is my brother. If you look at the top social media stars, it’s me and him. I think that’s our advantage. We’re not the prettiest; we’re not even the funniest, we’re not the wittiest, whatever it is.
Contrary to what we learn from progressives in education and the media, the history of the Democratic Party well into the twentieth century is a virtually uninterrupted history of thievery, corruption, and bigotry.
Yet, while producing increasingly selfish people, the mantra of the Left, and therefore of the universities and the media, has been for generations that capitalism and the free market, not the welfare state, produces selfish people.

Terrorist bombings, like rampage shootings, are events that maximize the amount of publicity per amount of damage. That’s why people do them, because they know they will set off a media frenzy.

I am not afraid of mass media.
In Germany, you have to see that there are not a lot of

There is a perception that the media is very liberal, very biased, produces fake news.
You could have a zillion Facebook followers. Those people don’t buy records. It’s about a hundred to one…Record companies, they don’t have any money, so they see social media as the free marketing… So… ‘Billy, light yourself on fire and stand upside down, and that’ll market the record.’
The most important thing in the professional wrestling industry in this day and age of technology and the Internet and social media is to be able to make wrestling unpredictable.
Shaming is powerful and useful. I’m living in New York, and my instinct is that, after the Black Lives Matter protests, which were organized on social media, the chance of there being another Eric Garner, choked to death in New York by an NYPD officer, has diminished.
There’s always going to be silly stuff out there in the media that you can’t worry too much about, and I don’t. We just keep on trucking, and I like the way my… I think there should be ‘professional is professional, and personal is personal,’ and that’s just how I’m going to keep it.
We do live in this age of new media.
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
It’s not just Ethiopia, but Africa in general – most of the media concentrates on what’s not going well. But there is so much beauty there. When you go, it changes everything. It changes you, your life, and the way you see things. The challenge is changing the image of Africa that’s been anchored in people for years now.

Don’t accept or be crippled by the media hype that aging is bad or shameful.
In this age of the electronic media and the mass distribution of the printed word, God will hold us accountable if we do not now move the Book of Mormon in a monumental way.
The whole social media thing is ridiculous. Everybody gets to say what they want all the time. That’s fine in theory, but it’s not civilised. Imagine going into a bar, and everybody in that bar is talking like people do online. They’d just get their teeth punched in.
I think America’s obsession with guns and with violence in media and society is a horrible sickness.
People in the news media after I got caught said how could you have not caught this guy? He had 50 corrections in four years. That’s a lot of corrections. Well what they failed to look at is how many stories there were and out of 700 plus stories, 50 corrections is not a high amount.
Jayson Blair
Developments in information technology and globalised media mean that the most powerful military in the history of the world can lose a war, not on the battlefield of dust and blood, but on the battlefield of world opinion.
Timothy Garton Ash
Leftism has influenced the literary, academic, media, and, therefore, the political elite far more than any other religion. It has taken over Western schools from elementary through graduate.
My strong belief – in being in blogging before Twitter – is that in trying to create more information out there, in trying to create the democratization of media in general, is that the more voices there are out there then the likelihood is that the truth bubbles up to the top.
Media has become a way that we think about our history. And the media moments are, for better or worse, how we contextualize our history.
Judging by informal observation, most young Americans burn up their spare time buffing their emotional IQ and self-esteem with social media and non-stop texting. That’s great for eye-thumb coordination, but what about the satisfaction of actually making something?
This is all about a media war that continues to rage between the old and new media. Unfortunately for our soldiers, these brave Americans are caught in the crossfire.
Social media isn’t a one-way broadcast; it’s a multiway opportunity for dialogue.
By the time we enter this work world and we’re breadwinners, we enter a world that’s just cluttered with spam, fake, digital friends, partisan media, ingenious identity thieves, world-class Ponzi schemers – a deception epidemic.
I dare suggest that the composer would do himself and his music an immediate and eventual service by total, resolute and voluntary withdrawal from this public world to one of private performance and electronic media.
Milton Babbitt
If you publish something in traditional media, it’s one-way. With social media, we get all this info coming back from those who read our posts.
My goal is to bridge the gap between social media and traditional media.
What is interesting is the power and the impact of soci

What is interesting is the power and the impact of social media… So we must try to use social media in a good way.
With social media, with Instagram and selfies and all these apps that are trying to make you look perfect… it’s hard for girls to grow up nowadays with all that stuff.
I am urging Americans to be more careful about the kinds of media we support with our consumer spending. We’ve got to invest less in the media that glorifies violence and more in entertainment that lifts up the values of love, compassion, and the best in human nature.
The influence of social media is unbelievable. It’s sad to see – it’s a fake life that some people live.
The Kingdom is the love of God prevailing in politics, in business, in government, in media. It is all the impact of the laws of God creating a social environment where the strong help the weak, where those who have give to those who don’t. It’s a society where relationships are built on love.
When I moved to New York City to go college, my mother said, ‘If you want to be recognized, you need to go out to a club.’ Because we didn’t have computers. We didn’t have social media. We didn’t even have cellphones. So you had to go out to be recognized.
You gotta understand, you can’t look at no pictures and look at the media and the critics and what they saying on no Internet.
Because of media hype and woefully inadequate information, too many people nowadays are deathly afraid of their food, and what does fear of food do to the digestive system? I am sure that an unhappy or suspicious stomach, constricted and uneasy with worry, cannot digest properly.
The PC has improved the world in just about every area you can think of. Amazing developments in communications, collaboration and efficiencies. New kinds of entertainment and social media. Access to information and the ability to give a voice people who would never have been heard.
For a long time I was convinced that the conflict between Jewish people and black people in this country was a media event.
Big labels can buy you radio play, they can buy you social media likes and YouTube views. I don’t have any of that, but I’m still getting a Top 3 album and Top 20 singles.
Amazon has a good track record for blowing up industries, and fashion needs to look at what has happened to music, publishing and media.
I think that women of color use social media to make our voices heard with or without the amplification of white women. I also think that, many times, when white women want our support, they use an umbrella of ‘women supporting women’ and forget that they didn’t lend the same kind of support.
Social media has revolutionised how beauty is curated, captured, and consumed.
In the age of social media and dating apps, so many people are able to hide behind their Instagram page or their Raya page or Facebook. And it’s like, ‘Let’s set something up! I want to meet face-to-face.’ And ‘Take Me’ was about, ‘Are you going to take me out? Do I have to be the first person to make the move?’
The world is a complex place, and the influence of the media in its representation and its power of communication and interpretation is a remarkable amplifier of emotions, and of illusions.
The media likes me because I give honest answers. How many people in football give honest answers? I don’t lie. Always the truth. OK, maybe my truth. But it is the truth.
Federalism‘, in the context of political and media usage in Britain, has come to mean the creation and imposition of a European superstate, one centralised in Brussels.
The dark side of social media is that, within seconds, anything can be blown out of proportion and taken out of context. And it’s very difficult not to get swept up in it all.
Glasgow‘s not a media center. When you’re there, when you’re hanging about, you feel quite detached from musical movements or fashions or anything like that. You do feel quite alone, in a good way.
When I was young, I was crazy in the head on social media.
To be honest, after you’ve crossed the line at the Olympic Games, it is bedlam for the next, about, five or six hours. Media, press conference, dope control – you might get some food if you’re lucky. You might see family if you’re lucky.
The duty of the media is to observe truth and social responsibility.
Salva Kiir Mayardit
Public opinion can be influential, the media can be influential.
Mr. Modi is responsible for everyone’s misery, demonetisation disaster, destruction of all democratic institutions. He is creating problems for everybody: for political leaders, for media, for corporates. He is not following any democratic values.
Western media present events in Russia in a thoroughly negative light. Yes, we have problems, and these need to be covered. But the fact remains that there is a propaganda campaign being waged against Russia. And this is disturbing.
Gennady Timchenko
Social media – It’s not real life. I only caught the tail end of it in high school. It can be good, and it can be fun, but you can’t let it get toxic.
Natalia Dyer
Life in the NBA can be one big constant distraction, especially when you’re on the road. You’re always moving from one place to the next, always on the phone, checking texts, social media, all of that stuff. It takes you out of yourself.
I don’t think there’s a… boundary between digital media and print media. Every magazine is doing an online version.
I think that people post to social media to help shape their public identity.
Eli Pariser
I don't think anybody out there in the media, U.N., hum

I don’t think anybody out there in the media, U.N., human rights organisations, has any moral right whatsoever to level any accusations against me or against Rwanda. Because, when it came to the problems facing Rwanda, and the Congo, they were all useless.
Using social media to hurt and destroy is callous, acted out by cowards hiding behind computers. My advice is to ignore negativity. Focus on the love around.
For me, being a top coach means more than just teaching football. That includes empathy, it means that you can speak to a group, that you can deal with the media – you have to be able to do all of that. I would not describe myself as blind in this regard, but a top coach also includes titles.
I’ll say this: The media wasn’t invited to my marriage, and they’re definitely not invited into the divorce.
Social media affords me an opportunity to interact with fans on a daily basis, not just for a few seconds apiece at a science-fiction convention.
Minister and writer Barbara Kaufmann has addressed the subject of guerrilla decontextualization on both the ‘Voices Compassionate Education’ website and on ‘Inner Michael‘, where she offers the kind of insights into the spiritual aspects of Michael Jackson‘s creative artistry that mainstream media mostly ignores.
Aberjhani
In Tehran, the 444 days of the Iran Hostage Crisis was the first world event in which you could literally have live events beamed into your living room. Now, every world event plays out on its own, and as a media event.
Chris Terrio
If you look at the Malaysian media, you will find that, although some are supportive of the government, many are not, and they are very critical of the government.
I am a little curmudgeonly about new media.
I like to tell people that I have the best job in the media. All I do is hang around with heroes. I do that every week for my ‘War Stories’ documentary series – and when FOX News wants – I go off and cover the young Americans we send to places like Afghanistan or Iraq.
Asia is changing, and China is changing. The ‘Post’ will have great opportunities. With its access to Alibaba’s resources, data, and all the relationships in our ecosystem, the ‘Post’ can report on Asia and China more accurately compared with other media that have no such access.
I think we have tremendous media covering the sport of boxing, even if boxing is a little bit lost in popularity with MMA sports. And I think that with the show ‘Lights Out’ it’s going to get more attention to the sport, and it’s going to put more attention to the problems that athletes in general have.
Just as young people absorb all kinds of messages from the media, young girls learn what it means to be a woman by watching the older women in their lives.
No one really knows what I’m really like, and you won’t unless you spend a day with me, or if you’re my friend. No one ever knows what anyone is really like. Read all the interviews you want on them, it’s just the media talking and you can’t really get to know someone that way, obviously.
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.
Amy Goodman
You don’t even know if the person you’re communicating with online is actually that person. And your persona on your social media – your Facebook or Twitter – may not be the person you are in real life. So then, who is the real person? Is it somewhere in between?
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.
Diversity in media is something that is intrinsic to a democratic society. We do not want the whole media owned by one person.
You need to be able to work with people. Especially in football, it is not a QB’s game… even though the media likes to make it into that – it takes the whole team.
Obviously social media has had a massive impact on the fame game, but not in a positive way. But it can be for some.
Anti-Christian ideology has permeated much of the secular news media, and so often Biblical Christians are mocked, misrepresented or attacked for what they believe by anti-Christian agenda driven reporters.
The media’s apoplectic reaction to 2018 tax refunds displays a fundamental misunderstanding of the U.S. tax code and the very notion of what a refund actually is.
I am not the ‘Count’ that has been portrayed in the media.
I always try and put out posts on social media about feeling good inside, and there’s so much pressure for people to look a certain way and have a certain hairstyle or a certain lipstick.
If I post something on social media, like Instagram or Twitter, I never actually read the comments.
To the media, I have become a symbolic figure, critical of China. According to the government, I am a dangerous threat.
Despite recent media reports that have clouded, or even misrepresented, the facts, there is compelling evidence that al-Qaida and Iraq have been linked for more than a decade.
Elizabeth Dole
As the mainstream media has become increasingly dependent on advertising revenues for support, it has become an anti-democratic force in society.
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.
It’s fine to have social media that connects us with old friends, but we need tools that help us discover new people as well.
I don’t think I’m misunderstood, but there is definitely a certain side of me that the press focuses on – my body, my hair, or who I’m dating – which has never really served me as an actor. It’s served me in the commercial world, making money as a model, but the media perception has really hindered my acting career.
I am not a spokesperson for the trans community, I am n

I am not a spokesperson for the trans community, I am not. The media kind of projects me as being the spokesperson, but from my standpoint, I am not. I am a spokesperson for my story, and that’s all I can tell.
Digital technology allows us a much larger scope to tell stories that were pretty much the grounds of the literary media.
There is a whole school of Canadian academics, media personalities, and politicians whose definition of a Canadian is a North American who fears or dislikes the United States.
Preston Manning
The role of social media is critical because it helps to spread cognitive dissonance by connecting thought leaders and activists to ordinary citizens rapidly expanding the network of people who become willing to take action.
I myself have felt the wrath of the media, but that’s part of what a good democracy is.
Social media gives one a family to share one’s life with.
We are the United States of Amnesia, which is encouraged by a media that has no desire to tell us the truth about anything, serving their corporate masters who have other plans to dominate us.
I think the focus of the media changes. At the moment the more electronic stuff like trip-hop was the flavor of the month, just a little while ago. It all depends on the angle, from which point of view you see it.
The influence of social media is unbelievable. It’s sad to see – it’s a fake life that some people live.
Language makes infinite use of finite media.
Wilhelm von Humboldt
The general election is not an organizational exercise – it’s a mass media exercise.
I’m not on any social media. I’m a bit analog when it comes to the Internet and technology.
Benedict Samuel
When the media ask George W. Bush a question, he answers, ‘Can I use a lifeline?’
Activists need to educate themselves about the power of crypto currencies like Bitcoin, invented in 2009, and use crypto to leverage the success of their independent media gains to tip the balance of power away from the troika in ways that could never happen by backing a political candidate.
I was scared by social media – just scared of what I might attract. Once I broke onto that thing, because I needed it for my band to tell people about shows, I realized, 99 percent of the time, people are funny, clever, inventive, beautiful.
I’ve been on social media for quite a long time, maybe because I’ve been sending out nutrition information.
To ask whether the mainstream media has a conservative or liberal bias is like asking whether al-Qaida uses too much oil in their hummus. It’s – I think they might use too much oil in their hummus – but it’s the wrong question.
I had to turn social media off. It was just crazy. Just to see the messages rolling through and people shouting, ‘Till beat Tyron,’ booking flights and booking hotels, that’s becoming the norm right now.
Far from being dead, physical media has years of life left and must be preserved because there is no better alternative.
If you followed the media you’d think that everybody in Africa was starving to death, and that’s not the case; so it’s important to engage with the other Africa.
I don’t like tokenism. I don’t like the idea that somebody should just appear at a press conference or in a media interview because they are a woman.
In fact, the media should not be run by the government at all.
Most women are not programmed to prefer a great career to a great man and a family. They feel they were sold a bill of goods at college and by the media.
Fake news is a big thing in the field of Social Media Journalism. Fake news can be as simple has spreading misinformation.or as dangerous as smearing hateful propaganda.
If I’ve learned anything from social media, it’s truly that the most irrelevant people always say the most absurd stuff.
Social media is changing the way we communicate and the way we are perceived, both positively and negatively. Every time you post a photo, or update your status, you are contributing to your own digital footprint and personal brand.
I completely understand social media as a method of promotion and digesting information, but it just seems like a colossal waste of time to me, and there’s a million other ways I’d rather waste my time.
Jason Mantzoukas
People are worried about what’s going to happen to journalism – and they should be. Every day, the blogosphere is getting better and print media is getting worse; you have to be an idiot not to see that.
‘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
There’s been this sort of attitude in media in the past in this country that it’s not our job to fall on one side or the other. But what I’m suggesting is that in this day and age, there is no deciding not to fall on one side of the other. You’re going to be on a side, so you’ve got to lean in and choose the right one.
With technology and social media and citizen journalism, every rock that used to go unturned is now being flipped, lit and put on TV.
So for me, you can't control the media, you have to wor

So for me, you can’t control the media, you have to work with media to get your message out there and you just hope that there’s enough good honest reporting and people in the media that can get that job done.
It used to be that artists thought of nature as their environment. Now media is our environment. It has been for the past 50, 70 years. It’s what you see on TV, on the computer, what is in the magazines and newspapers.
Richard Hell
Like all technology, social media is neutral but is best put to work in the service of building a better world.
Social media, unfortunately, just makes it a lot easier to be jealous. It sets up false expectations of reality, so it’s really easy to look at someone else’s life online and assume that they have everything going great for them and that their life is perfect.
Yeah, so when ‘Avatar‘ came out, the social media world and the idea of fan communities were very new. There were forums and you could obviously go to conventions and talk to people, but it wasn’t as clear or easy.
Aaron Ehasz
I wish the Libertarian Party would get more play in the media but they don’t.
I see some kids whose social media is their whole world, and I actually think it’s good to disconnect from that.
I started in investment banking at Allen & Company in 1991. It was the go-go days of media mergers, and we were incredibly busy with one deal after another. Unlike typical investment banking groups, even in the midst of merger mania, we didn’t have a formal face-time culture – and I felt empowered by that.
I am not in every picture I post, and my social media is not only for film promotions. I don’t feel comfortable with that. Yes, I’ll post something promotional now and then, but rest of the time, it is like any other social media account.
The media cause more problems than they do good.
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.’
Just as we teach our children how to ride a bike, we need to teach them how to navigate social media and make the right moves that will help them. The physical world is similar to the virtual world in many cases. It’s about being aware. We can prevent many debacles if we’re educated.
Let’s face it: WikiLeaks exists because the mainstream media haven‘t done their job.
The bedroom is an archetype. To me it stands for a lot of the silliness of our modern culture where the kind of things that we worship in our sacred spaces are based on media and movies because we don’t really have much else in the way of myths, if that makes sense.
We are shallow because our media are so horribly shallow. Every morning, I peruse the papers, and there is so little to read in them. It is the same with radio – all that noise, that artifice.
I love Instagram. I find it to be one of the truly positive social media things that exist.
Aidy Bryant
To those who wish to shape the nation’s political dialogue, social media is dangerous.
Though many in the media do their best to conceal the achievements of President Trump on behalf of women, we are confident that women nationwide have taken notice and will use the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage to reelect President Trump on November 3, 2020.
Every day, it seems, a new extreme weather catastrophe happens somewhere in America, and the media’s all over it, profiling the ordinary folks wiped out by forest fires, droughts, floods, massive sinkholes, tornadoes.
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
Most people see through these issues but the corporate media doesn’t reflect these sentiments.
John Hall
I think in this world of social media, we will be lost if we don’t have an online account.
D. Imman
I am not God. Nor am I Phantom. I am ready to accept any criticism. I have been in politics for decades. Each and every day, in several media, there is criticism of me.
I was 24 when I was embroiled in a high-profile lawsuit. This was 2014, long before, en masse and on social media, we said #MeToo and #TimesUp. At the time, I felt completely alone. Visceral, hateful online harassment from strangers left me paranoid and anxious for years afterward.
A ‘social media fast’ is a fast, I suppose like any other. In this case, you’re simply giving up whether it be a device or a particular type of social media site. And I do this at least once weekly.
We must rediscover our faith in the future and join with one another to ensure that nonviolence is the prevalent choice for government, law enforcement, the non-profit sector, business, education, media, entertainment, arts, and for the global citizenry.
When I left Planned Parenthood, I was extremely nervous. I was immediately thrown into the media spotlight, and I had no idea what it was going to be like to be a public figure in the pro-life movement.
As social media is less about technology and more about relationship building, we are starting to see more women have a heavy influence if not dominant role in the social media space. It’s no wonder that Facebook is being run in part by chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg.
Erik Qualman
There are so many cameras. There is so much instant media attention, not just for celebrities, but for normal people that get thrust in the reality world.
We need to boycott the mainstream media, and we need to go online, and we need to find credible news sources.
You can either allow social media to be helpful for you or it can be harmful. I like to let it be helpful.
I'm not into social media. I'm like from another centur

I’m not into social media. I’m like from another century.
Social media demands a lot of us on top of our already demanding lives. So let’s disconnect as we need to and renew our interest and ourselves.
Don’t let anyone turn you into a slave. You’re a slave if you let the media tell you that sports and entertainment are more important than developing your brain.
The truth is I’ve been doing Kickstarter before there was Kickstarter; there was no Internet. Social Media was writing letters, making phone calls, beating the bushes.
My career was exploding at the same time that social media itself was expanding. But when my online videos were taking off, I didn’t think, ‘Oh, great! I’m going to be able to parlay this into a career!’ I just wanted to be a comedian. I just wanted to perform live.
I don’t know that we do. I had thought ours worked well, but I had never examined it too closely. A lot of media people will be looking for a case that might make Texas Governor George Bush think twice about what he’s doing.
George Ryan
What the media does to Trump is what they did the cops – say the police are really harmful, then later ask why people are so scared of the police.
If you don’t trust the media, they are not going to trust you, and if they don’t trust you, it’s hard for the public to trust you.
Regarding social media, I really don’t understand what appears to be the general population‘s lack of concern over privacy issues in publicizing their entire lives on the Internet for others to see to such an extent… but hey it’s them, not me, so whatever.
I accept the media for what they are. Most of them are really good people. Some of them are scumbags.
Social media is not a safe space.
A lot of times, we believe what the media says about us or what our awards or accolades say about us instead of what God says about us.
A functional media is as important to democratic freedom as voting.
I think representation is the most important thing in the world. People who are young look up to the things that they see in the media. They want to relate and to be able to say, ‘Wow, I can be successful.’
The bad boy image is something given to me by the media. I have been in relationships earlier, even for as long as three years. I am not saying I am a saint. I am like any other guy, I guess. Unfortunately, every time I even meet a person, it is reported as a link-up.
I was brought up when media still kept totally away from violence when it came to children. I don’t think it would have made me scared of violence, but I find it repulsive.
Looking at yourself through the media is like looking at one of those rippled mirrors in an amusement park.
Edmund S. Muskie
I’ve never been the type to be on social media all the time.
We have to do more than keep media giants from growing larger; they’re already too big. We need a new set of rules that will break these huge companies to pieces.
Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn’t kill.
Technology not only allows grassroots conservatives like Palin to get their message across without the mainstream media’s filter and become a ‘force multiplier,’ it also helps them topple candidates financially backed by the establishment.
I was a journalist when I made ‘I’m British But…’ I’d seen how important the media was in terms of defining Indians – after the riots in the ’80s, I was like, ‘Oh my God!’
I don’t look at Instagram. I don’t have much to do with social media.
Human relationships used to be easy: you had friends, boy- or girlfriends, parents, children, and landlords. Now, thanks to social media, it’s all gone sideways.
I’m not really about spending every second on social media. I think there’s a lot more useful things you can do with your time.
The youth should work on popularising central and state government schemes among people. The young generation should make social media their weapon.
Financial news services and other media organizations get press releases 15 minutes before they are distributed to the general public, fueling a furious competition among the news services to rewrite them for their subscribers during their window of exclusivity.
We must challenge this statement and this sentiment that the news media is the enemy of the American people. This sentiment may be the greatest threat to democracy in my lifetime.
The Media is ruled by Satan. But yet I wonder if many Christians fully understand that.
Jimmy Swaggart
I’ve become increasingly fascinated with social media to improve on traditional ways of preparing for and predicting the future.
Social media and smart phones have become an inevitable part of our lives. We shouldn’t be under their control, which is wrong. It is mere stupidity, and we must be aware of everything around us.
I'm a little bit wary of people. It freaked me out when

I’m a little bit wary of people. It freaked me out when a fan connected with me on social media, then had plastic surgery to look like me, dyed his hair the same colour, and got a pug dog like mine. He was also a hacker, so I had to change all my passwords.
Well I think the media has a very powerful influence on almost anything and everything we do because the general public gets their perception of what is going on in things they don’t have immediate access to from what they get through the media.
I don’t really take into account what the media says. People have their own opinions about what goes on, but they don’t see what goes on behind the scenes with an athlete and their preparation.
Sophie Pascoe
I was perceiving myself as good as a man or equal to a man and as powerful and I wanted to look ambiguous because I thought that was a very interesting statement to make through the media. And it certainly did cause quite a few ripples and interest and shock waves.
I have to be natural and not doing anything fake, not lying on social media, in interviews and life.
The coverage of Islam in the media is becoming more sophisticated, and there is more access to knowledge.
Leila Aboulela
The scenarios of biological or chemical warfare painted in detail by the American media during the months after September 11 only betray the inability of the government to determine the magnitude of the danger.
When a black person kills a black person, the media ignores it completely.
People take things at face value on social media. Earnestness is the assumption.
I think social media is… really cool in the sense that I don’t think that a writer like me would’ve found a readership if maybe Instagram wasn’t there.
I’m pretty much using media all day because my school is online. It’s sort of like homeschooling but also like going to real school – you log in and do all your work and email it to the teacher, and we have a teacher who oversees us on set.
Nolan Gould
Sometimes you need that time away to disconnect from social media.
Social media is a big part of our job.
I don’t think people understand the power of social media or our phones.
Talk radio has made an enormous run around establishment media. But the Internet is making an end run around talk radio. Suddenly we’re faced with an information age.
But the weakness comes from these Westernised co-opted Muslim leaders who just want to look good in the eyes of the West and Western media.
People shouldn’t expect the mass media to do investigative stories. That job belongs to the ‘fringe‘ media.
Ted Koppel
It’s easy to blame technology for what we perceive to be a vast disconnect between people. We’re so wrapped up in social media, texting, online dating – in many ways, we’re addicted to our devices.
I believe in advertisement and media completely. My art and my personal life are based in it. I think that the art world would probably be a tremendous reservoir for everybody involved in advertising.
Blogging and traditional media work together. Twitter complements traditional media.
I understand the visual media very well, as I used to write comic books for Walt Disney, and I’ve written a graphic novel. How you carry a story in pictures is different than how you do it in text.
The world is beset by many problems, but in my opinion, this hijacking of our brain’s reward centers by electronic media is potentially one of the most destructive.
Choosing my career was always based on job satisfaction rather than financial security. I wanted to get a job in science; I enjoyed being a surgeon and I now enjoy being an academic and having a media career.
What’s different with Cambridge Analytica and more broadly with social media is that you are the target. People want to harvest your information in as granular a way as possible in order to, like, create a picture, a complete picture of who you are, ultimately to either sell you things or make you believe things.
There is one other business where the customer is always wrong and that’s the media.
Social media allows me to pick my times for social interaction.
I think an excess of anything is bad, be it mobile phones, social media, private tuitions or watching television.
I’m heartened that, for the first time, we’re seeing some of the Internet Service Providers and the social media sites taking action against the Islamic State. That’s the kind of initiative that can very, very much augment on an industrial scale what the government is trying to do.
There is no method by which an average citizen can effectively fight the White House in the media.
Linda Tripp
Our national media refuses to report that even the Supreme Court did not say marriage was a human right in all cases nor did it say that the heterosexual definition violated anyone’s right or that the heterosexual definition of marriage was unconstitutional.
We are a nation in which freedom is alive in the squares and streets, in the daily work of the communications media, in the open relationship between the governing and the governed.
For a major publisher like Time Inc. to embrace Bitcoin

For a major publisher like Time Inc. to embrace Bitcoin sends an important message to both its readers and to the broader media community.
Brian Armstrong
I’ll go out to eat and have a really good lunch and try to shut the phone off, but I can’t, really, because the social media stuff will start happening.
When you change media, perception is changed and then policy is changed.
Social media can be very negative at times.
It’s a dilemma for every modern parent – how to keep children safe on social media without monitoring their every post.
The world of social media can be so nasty and negative, especially for women.
People should never allow themselves to be dictated to by media.
With the media, I could be quick and ugly and critical. I tend to wear my emotions on my sleeve.
I feel like a lot of the industry and media portray this image of what beautiful is, or how you should dress, or how you should look, and I don’t think it’s healthy.
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.
You learn the hard way. That’s the thing with social media. Nobody knows what they’re doing.
It has become a routine for the media to link me with all the stars I work with.
I think of what that person must be going through and thinking, that they might feel better by pulling someone else down. No one would say this to your face, but social media makes us all faceless, and you don’t get called out for this.
I’ve propelled myself into the media world and I’ve been able to get my style of cooking across with my personality.
Black America surely faces an existential crisis, but not the one imagined in the condescending news media – of somehow getting non-black America to be more just and generous. The truth is, we’ve already been through that, and there is nothing left to do. We’re out of ‘affirmative actions‘ of all kinds.
I don’t reflect much, unless I’m talking to the media. I have more of a ‘Forward, march!’ kind of attitude.
It is advertising and the logic of consumerism that governs the depiction of reality in the mass media.
When a church is spending more of its budget on media than shepherding, something is out of whack. We have gotten things twisted around.
It’s dope to be an artist and to have that wall of separation, but also I feel like social media is there for what it’s there for. I have a group chat with about 40 fans who I communicate with on the regular.
6lack
When the media ask George W. Bush a question, he answers, ‘Can I use a lifeline?’
Social media is reducing social barriers. It connects people on the strength of human values, not identities.
I have an amazing social media manager, Allison Peters, who is one of my closest friends since childhood.
If your music is great, you will have fans, not because you have spent time chatting on social media.
My attitude as a footballer was to always be prepared – make sure you’re the fittest and know who you’re up against. And that’s exactly how I treat the media side.
This is God’s world this is not the media’s world.
It takes a long time to free oneself from chattergoals, social media, image, persona. And if you’re able to move through in that way, you can actually start trying to create from a different place.
I look at social media as a place to have fun. It should be positive.
However, the radio and national media depend much more on the hype from a good record label, and from a ‘ buzz ‘ about a band, then from just one or two good shows. There are a lot of artists that have a ton of good press going for them, and still do not make it big in the US.
Pat Garrett
Because of the media, the way the world is perceived is as a place where resources and time are running out. We’re taught that you have to grab what you can before it’s gone. It’s almost as if there isn’t time for compassion.
The media tends to report rumors, speculations, and projections as facts… How does the media do this? By quoting some ‘expert‘… you can always find some expert who will say something hopelessly hopeless about anything.
Social media has come a long way. With the good has come some bad, and you always have a lot of people hiding behind their computers and being very critical of what you do on and off the field, of what you tweet, of what you say, of everything you do.
While this has been a private part of my family's life,

While this has been a private part of my family’s life, it is now clear a media story will soon emerge. My father tragically ended his life while battling terminal cancer in 1979.
Social media has lots of benefits, but compared to Christianity, it tends to group people by interests. Religion puts you with people who have nothing in common except that you’re human.
Social media makes you think.
The country is polarized. And I think part of it – it is not just social media. We get our facts from different places. People self-select with so many different cable channels and so many sources. I think that is a huge problem.
It can be easy to become ‘friends’ or ‘connected’ with someone in a digital world, but it requires thought and strategy to convert social media connections into rewarding business relationships.
Social media enables us to talk about issues, shine a light on problems, and raise awareness of struggles that might have gone unnoticed. On the flipside, it also allows for a lot of noise and distractions. Sometimes it doesn’t create the best environment for a healthy discussion and can lead to trolling.
I have said that propaganda, misinformation, and disinformation have always been part of political warfare. Social media and other new platforms have given it a new life and reach through which the fake news phenomenon can reach everywhere.
Moments of crisis, like the shooting in Newtown, tend to produce brief spikes of popular interest in gun control. My research on media attention suggests these spikes are extremely short-lived, and that they may be decreasing in intensity.
I think that social media platforms and technology have been the accelerator for the push for the populist-style administrations in democratically elected presidents.
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
The Left has taken over the universities and, increasingly, high schools and elementary schools. It dominates the news and entertainment media. And many judges and courts are leftist – meaning that their decisions are guided by leftism more than by the law or the Constitution.
It takes discipline not to let social media steal your time.
I’m very active on social media and see the huge impact it has on engaging with fans and being able to have a voice.
Social media websites are no longer performing an envisaged function of creating a positive communication link among friends, family and professionals. It is a veritable battleground, where insults fly from the human quiver, damaging lives, destroying self-esteem and a person’s sense of self-worth.
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.
The media can be a really strong vehicle.
The issue of coverage of pre-poll surveys should not be mixed with the freedom of press. Having guidelines does not violate any fundamental right nor implies any restriction on this freedom. ‘Media power’ should not be misused with the help of pre-poll surveys.
N. Bhaskara Rao
I always recommend navigating the landscape and understanding where it’s coming from, so don’t get your media from just one source; get it from a variety of different sources but understand the bias and the source.
If you’re writing a show about modern media moguls, Rupert Murdoch and his family are an incredibly important model and some of their disputes and the dynamics have been very vivid.
The state must protect the media. In a democracy, the role of media is very important. In the absence of a credible opposition party, you can rely on the media.
It is not at all clear how much the media influences public opinion and how much public opinion influences the media.
The creation continues incessantly through the media of man.
Antoni Gaudi
During my younger days, we didn’t have digital media or electronic gadgets the way we do now. So the best part of my day was the one I spent either in listening to stories from my elders or reading them.
It’s a dialogue, not a monologue, and some people don’t understand that. Social media is more like a telephone than a television.
I did nothing worse than Lyndon Johnson. He was for segregation when he thought he had to be. I was for segregation, and I was wrong. The media has rehabilitated Johnson; why won’t it rehabilitate me?
In the media, they’re always talking about money. I’m not denying that it plays a role, but everything has to be in its right place.
I don’t really have a strategy for social media. I think that’s my strategy is that I don’t have a strategy.
Osama Bin Laden was found hiding in a house compound in Pakistan by American forces. Muammar Gaddafi was captured by rebel militia while hiding in a drain underneath a road in Libya. And Pakistani starlet Veena Malik was found by the Indian media hiding in a suburban hotel in Mumbai.
Social media is an advertisement for the superficial extroverted self.
I don’t take the Internet and social media very seriously. I’ve grown up around social media but to me what happens on the Internet just doesn’t feel real.
There’re so many things I want to do, like become more media savvy. I am too lazy. But I’m making an effort.
Ajay Devgan

I think that more diversity is a good thing, and fresh points of view articulated by people who are committed to excellence in journalism is a beneficial change in the American media landscape.
Media Asia has great partners in China, Japan and Hollywood.
Andrew Lau
With the rise of social media, it has given me an opportunity and a platform to have a voice as a blogger and as an activist, but it has also made me nervous that I might become a meme or a viral sensation, all without my consent.
You have to be really careful with what you put out on social media and who you’re talking to online.
Everyone is living for everyone else now. They’re doing stuff so they can tell other people about it. I don’t get all that social media stuff, I’ve always got other things I want to do – odd jobs around the house. No one wants to hear about that.
We live in a culture where everyone’s opinion, view, and assessment of situations and people spill across social media, a lot of it anonymously, much of it shaped by mindless meanness and ignorance.
I felt just overwhelmed by input: the Vietnam war and the collapse of the ’60s and the proliferation of media’ it just felt like everything was too much to handle and you just tuned out.
Richard Hell
There’s no social media or Googling yourself. You only have to do it once to learn never to do it again.
From commercial companies to political campaigns, advertising dollars are increasingly being spent on the web, rather than on traditional media. Jeopardize this arrangement and a vast number of free Internet features and functions will evaporate in short order.
Quite a few people who are in the media and in control of the big money seem to want to see these Southeast Asian countries – and, in particular, Malaysia – stop trying to catch up with their superiors and to know their place.
You can see it with social media and things like that, back in the day it was harder to convince people that the police are wrong, which sounds crazy, but that’s how it was back then.
My father left me with a clear sense that the media was something different.
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.
Right-wing media and politicians are looking for any opportunity to be critical of the reporters who are here. Some reporters make judgments, but that is not my style. I present both sides and report what I see with my own eyes.
Peter Arnett
Love making jewelry? Awesome! Find blogs that inspire you, follow people on social media who have great taste, start an Etsy store, and borrow a friend’s DSLR to take some beautiful photos of your craft. All of this costs $0.
There’s a danger in the internet and social media. The notion that information is enough, that more and more information is enough, that you don’t have to think, you just have to get more information – gets very dangerous.
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.
Carlos was a character, a character fabricated by Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, fabricated by the secret services of the epoch, fabricated by the governments of the epoch, by the radical groups of the epoch, by the communications media.
I think I want to show fans what it is actually like to be an athlete. Tennis is a part of it, but there is also another job that people are not aware of, the media commitments we have, and I want them to understand this.
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.
I wanted to be the perfect artist. I’d do three hours of media interviews a day, going to every radio station I could squeeze in. I’d sign autographs after the show until everybody left.
Clint Black
There’s a dangerous bottom-lining, and super-summarizing that happens in a lot of our press and our media, and sort of our politicians’ talking points, that’s dangerously simple. I don’t know a better way to say it. And there’s usually a lot more complicated facts going on than what is quoted and quotable.
21 years as CEO is a long time. I was and probably still am the longest serving CEO in America. Certainly I am in the media industry, bar none.
The record labels used to spend money on advertising, and social media has replaced that entirely – it’s putting magazines out of business. It’s put big companies into completely reinventing their strategies.
In the media age, everybody was famous for 15 minutes. In the Wikipedia age, everybody can be an expert in five minutes. Special bonus: You can edit your own entry to make yourself seem even smarter.
I don’t tweet or do any other social media, so I don’t know what’s being said out there.
Jane Elliot
You don’t send people to prison on the basis of what other people imagine, or on the basis of media sound bites like ‘shooting an unarmed child,’ when that ‘child’ was beating him bloody.
New York and San Francisco are distinctly different. San Francisco is driving the American media, not New York. You have young, microwaved millionaires and billionaires reshaping the American media in a way that reflects San Francisco values.
We created #BlackLivesMatter. We created a platform. We used our social media presence online in order to forward a conversation about what is taking place in black communities.
I tend to not discriminate when it comes to people I can learn from. Basically, if someone has built a meaningful business in software, technology or media, faced disruption and adversity, and overcame underdog status, I want to know how they did it.
For me the more important thing is fighting. You know, training, fighting. The sports side. I didn’t choose my media life.
I'm closer to being happy. I'm doing things that make m

I’m closer to being happy. I’m doing things that make me happy. In football I loved to practice and I loved to play, but I hated to be in meetings, hated to talk to the media, hated to have cameras in my face, hated to sign autographs. I hated to do all those things.
The world is shrinking as we see more and more of it in the media, and the more we see of the world, the smaller we are, the more aware we are of how insignificant any one of us is.
My generation was born to work with social media – it’s a natural part of our communication with the world.
Anwar Hadid
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.
That’s the beauty of being a straight-to-DVD star. It really helps you stay under the media’s radar.
I became alienated from this religious upbringing, and started making music. I wanted to be a big star. All those things I saw in the films and on the media took hold of me, and perhaps I thought this was my god: the goal of making money.
I think it’s a blessing that social media is such a big thing.
There’s so much negativity on social media, I don’t want to add to that.
Everyone’s like sheep on social media; like, one person starts making noise, and everyone’s like, ‘Hey, yeah!’ and then you got a whole bunch of people making noise at you.
We say it all the time: the leftist media is inciting violence and hate by calling everybody a racist and a white supremacist.
The public is to the left not simply of New Labour, but the political and media classes as a whole.
One of the most powerful defences the media can offer for controversial actions is, of course, public interest.
Smart phones and social media expand our universe. We can connect with others or collect information easier and faster than ever.
I was shy when I was a kid, I was very shy, but now I think I’ve improved a lot. I can speak OK with the media and with the people. My English is still bad but I feel a little bit better now than before.
I’m happy to talk to liberal media, and we often have good conversations.
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
Social media and the Internet haven’t changed our capacity for social interaction any more than the Internet has changed our ability to be in love or our basic propensity to violence, because those are such fundamental human attributes.
For me, what’s a more important question is how we get at least the option of more diverse experiences in this media.
Will Wright
It’s not my fault if the media and the public are more interested in Tiger Woods than in women farm workers.
There is a tendency in the media to simplify me to the point that I am somehow a tough guy. I think there is a lot more to me.
When Bush first got elected, the very first time there was talk of going to war with Iraq, the mainstream media gave his position total credibility. I didn’t get it then, and I don’t get it now.
Whenever I get negative comments on Twitter, it’s always from girls – often ones who are trying to make it in the media. I don’t understand why we can’t put that energy into uniting and supporting each other instead.
There are a lot of pros and cons about social media; it’s just how you choose to handle it and how you have to be prepared for the negatives as well.
Aubrey Peeples
Honestly, I feel like inside my soul, I’m very anti-social media to a point where I realized that I need to be active in part because of my profession, but I delete all of the social media apps on my phone daily.
At the very least we should be given a bit of credit and a little bit of space, and maybe the media should think we could help them discover why English teams do not win European competitions.
I avoid social media and articles written about me, because I’m human and negative comments pollute my head and make me feel confused about myself.
I started working at Focus on the Family doing debates and media and cultural studies.
It is the responsibility of all the Sudanese, especially the political leaders and the media, to strengthen social cohesion through the proper understanding of the dynamics of unity, if they really want our country to remain united.
Salva Kiir Mayardit
If the media didn’t know I played chess, there’d be no angle on me at all.
Lennox Lewis
