Media Quotes by Famous Authors
1.
“Television is actually closer to reality than anything in books. The madness of TV is the madness of human life.”
Camille Paglia
2.
“Madonna is her own Hollywood studio - a popelike mogul and divine superstar in one. She has a laserlike instinct for publicity, aided by her visual genius for still photography (which none of her legion of imitators has). Unfortunately, her public life has dissolved into a series of staged photo ops.”
Camille Paglia
3.
“It's aggravating that Hollywood has never gotten credit for the role it played in promoting modern design.”
Camille Paglia
4.
“We live in a period of declining stars. Few celebrities these days (aside from the smoldering Angelina Jolie) seem to have complex psychic lives.”
Camille Paglia
5.
“Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of tuning in and impatiently tuning out. As a longtime fan of talk radio, I don’t think this bodes well for the long-term broad appeal of the medium.”
Camille Paglia
6.
“I see far stronger and more charismatic personalities strolling around Philadelphia’s neighborhoods than are being featured in most of today’s bland daytime soaps.”
Camille Paglia
7.
“Our liberal, New York/Washington-based media would never in a million years put Liberal Godfather Ted Kennedy on the spot about his clan's bad behavior, to whose lurid history he himself has contributed so much.”
Camille Paglia
8.
“I'm a professor of media studies as well as humanities, and I'm an evangelist of popular culture, but when there's only media, then there's going to be a slow debasement of language, and that's what I think we're fighting.”
Camille Paglia
9.
“Video games and YouTube are creatively booming, even though Web design, as demonstrated by the ugly clutter of most major news sites, is in the pits.”
Camille Paglia
10.
“'Mad Men' doesn't capture one single thing about the decor, costumes, or sexual interaction. It is a total projection of contemporary snarky attitudes into the past.”
Camille Paglia
11.
“I don't like reality shows and have never watched them, but I'm addicted to 'Real Housewives' because it's authentic old-time soap opera reborn!”
Camille Paglia
12.
“Daytime soap operas, which I used to adore, have been declining in quality and importance for over a decade, and I gradually stopped monitoring them.”
Camille Paglia
13.
“A serious problem in America is the gap between academe and the mass media, which is our culture. Professors of humanities, with all their leftist fantasies, have little direct knowledge of American life and no impact whatever on public policy.”
Camille Paglia
14.
“Computer enhancement has spread to still photography in advertisements, fashion pictorials, and magazine covers, where the human figure and face are subtly elongated or remodeled at will. Caricature is our ruling mode.”
Camille Paglia
15.
“Considering the popularity of soaps with the African-American audience, it's grotesque that the entertainment industry, for all its vaunted liberalism, is lagging so far behind social changes in the United States. And why has there never been an all-black daytime network soap? It would probably blow the white soaps off the map.”
Camille Paglia
16.
“As a longtime fan of talk radio, I'm very worried about the low opinion that conservative hosts and callers have of the American artist. Art is portrayed as a scam, a rip-off and snow job pushed by snobbish elites.”
Camille Paglia
17.
“I’m a professor of media studies as well as humanities, and I’m an evangelist of popular culture, but when there’s only media, then there’s going to be a slow debasement of language, and that’s what I think we’re fighting.”
Camille Paglia
18.
“Don’t talk to me about appealing to the public. I am done with the public, for the present anyway. The public reads the headlines and that is all. The story itself is fair and shows the facts. That would be all right if the public read the facts. But it does not. It reads the headline and listens to the demagogues and that’s the stuff public opinion is made of.”
J.P. Morgan
19.
“The A-listers and the A+ listers, are reporting the news, they're not making it.”
Guy Kawasaki
20.
“Newspapers always excite curiosity. No one ever puts one down without the feeling of disappointment.”
Charles Lamb
21.
“When I was a kid I had a friend who worked in a radio station. Whenever we walked under a bridge, you couldn’t hear what he said.”
Steven Wright
22.
“I thought I would be a guy on the radio.”
Steven Wright
23.
“If alcohol and smoking come with warning signs, how come news doesn't come with one? Watching news IS injurious to health!”
Ankur Warikoo
24.
“It is unhealthy to marinate in your own press clippings.”
Sam Walton
25.
“I don't think the Tea Party people are racist, except maybe a tiny portion of them. But there has been a deliberate effort - again, referring to Fox Broadcasting - to inject the race issue into it. They have actually called Obama a racist on television.”
Jimmy Carter
26.
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
Jimmy Carter
27.
“There’s always enough to fill up the headlines in a newspaper, the evening news broadcasts. I’m always grateful when I get the weekly news magazines on Monday morning and don’t see my picture on the front.”
Jimmy Carter
28.
“I look forward to these confrontations with the press to kind of balance up the nice and pleasant things that come to me as president.”
Jimmy Carter
29.
“Thoughtful criticism and close scrutiny of all government officials by the press and the public are an important part of our democratic society.”
Jimmy Carter
30.
“Each one of us is an individual, just like talk show hosts are different from one another, and newspaper columnists are different from each other. So, former presidents are different from each other, too. Some have gone into relative seclusion. Some have decided to teach.”
Jimmy Carter
31.
“No serious futurist deals in prediction. These are left for television oracles and newspaper astrologers.”
Alvin Toffler
32.
“To read a newspaper for the first time is like coming into a film that has been on for an hour. Newspapers are like serials. To understand them you have to take knowledge to them; the knowledge that serves best is the knowledge provided by the newspaper itself.”
V.S. Naipaul
33.
“I believe the most important thing for the media is to be objective, fair, and balanced. We should not report a story with preconceptions or prejudice.”
Jack Ma
34.
“What a publication can do is to help people get a clearer picture without jumping to any rash conclusion. I'm very happy that the 'Post' can take the responsibility to report on China in a broader and deeper way. I believe the 'Post' must be fair to our readers. We should let our readers see China from more angles and perspectives.”
Jack Ma
35.
“Every time there's an election, people start to criticize China.”
Jack Ma
36.
“I want to stress the importance of being fair to our readers. You should not impose your own view and prejudice on the readers and try to lead them to a conclusion. As a reader, I understand what a fair report is.”
Jack Ma
37.
“The more I come to know about the outside world's perception of China, the more I feel there are all sorts of misunderstandings, and to a certain extent, people do not get the full picture from the media. A lot of foreigners have few opportunities to visit China, and a lot of Chinese people do not have the chance to go to Europe or to the West.”
Jack Ma
38.
“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.”
Jack Ma
39.
“If the 'Post' can play the role of a connector between the West and the East, I have confidence in the paper's future success.”
Jack Ma
40.
“I made many mistakes but my triumphs have received far greater publicity than my failures.”
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala
41.
“I have learnt two things about the press and wives. When they say something - don't react.”
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala
42.
“We humans don’t like uncertainty, so we are attracted to those who offer clarity and simple answers, even if the answers are wrong or incomplete. Master Persuaders can thrive in chaotic environments by offering the clarity people crave. And if an environment is not chaotic already, a skilled persuader who understands both social media and the news business can easily stir the pot to create an advantage through chaos. Candidate Trump was a champion of this method.”
Scott Adams
43.
“I don’t read the news to find truth, as that would be a foolish waste of time.”
Scott Adams
44.
“I love magazines. It’s such McNugget kind of information.”
Scott Adams
45.
“Reporters are faced with the daily choice of painstakingly researching stories or writing whatever people tell them. Both approaches pay the same.”
Scott Adams
46.
“Science is a good thing. News reporters are good things too. But it’s never a good idea to put them in the same room.”
Scott Adams
47.
“The best way to compile inaccurate information that no one wants is to make it up.”
Scott Adams
48.
“As a fan, I’m distraught, but as a cartoonist looking at new vacant spaces in 2400 newspapers, well, behind me, my cats are dancing a conga line.”
Scott Adams
49.

50.
