Media Quotes Quotes

“Emotional chaos supplied by detachment, remoteness, and aloneness creates its own pathos of loneliness, quiet desperation, and despair. A person who lives in seclusion experiences a stronger yearning to blunt their solitude by establishing a false sense of connection via the artifice of plugging into television, engaging in Internet surfacing, and participating in other entertaining diversionary activities that fill the void of mental stillness. Americans multitasking on electronic devices is escapism at megabyte speed.”

They will be shooting all kinds of events all the time. Crime. Crashes. Speeches. Sports. And the footage won't be the short, sanitized and safe versions we usually see on television, courtesy of the old media gatekeepers. The user-generated pictures and video will be raw and real.

Billboards proclaim the newest film stars. Fashion magazines tell us how to dress and act. Each day sprouts its insider news tidbits. Each news day the media mashes another international or domestic crisis into our mental pulp and soufflés the macramé of political scandal or social untidiness into edible sound bites for us mentally to digest. Inside each of us resides shavings from this visual and electronic onslaught. An unseemly deluge of external stimuli shapes our ego formation.”

“The difference between the Western and Africa is that . The west is fighting for its own people and Africa is fighting against its own people. The president, Mayor, Member of parliament, Politicians, Institutions, NGO’s, Foundations, Artists, Police, Military, and the Media they are in one voice in fighting for their country nonmatter their differences or believes. But in Africa The president, Mayor, Member of parliament, Politicians, Institutions, NGO’s, Foundations, Artists, Police, Military, and the Media they all fighting against their own people. The hate they have for their own it is what makes Africa what it is today.”
