“I guess Twitter is the first thing that has been attractive to me as social media. I never felt the least draw to Facebook or MySpace. I've been involved anonymously in some tiny listservs, mainly in my ceaseless quest for random novelty, and sometimes while doing something that more closely resembles research.” FirstsHas BeensSometimesSocialFeltMediaInvolvedDrawsResearchSocial MediaTinyAttractiveQuestsNovelty Author:William Gibson
“My particular thing is discovering what can be done with media and how it can be used. You can't draw people together like one big huge family, people don't want that.

“I think you want to do as much as you can for your fans. I take as many opportunities as I can when it comes to media and interviews and autograph sessions and things of that nature - as long as it's not interfering with the schedule and how much inexperience you can get on the track. When it starts to cut into that, it's kind of defeating the purpose. So that's where I draw the line.” ThinkingWantKindLongI CanPurposeOpportunityLinesCuttingFansMediaDrawsTrackInterviewsInterfereSchedulesSessionAutographsInexperience Author:John Wes Townley
“[D]rawing up 'secret war plans' for a possible attack on Iraq wasn't irrational. The low-level war against Saddam was 12 years old, with no end in sight. American and British pilots were getting shot at, sanctions weren't working, and Bush was getting warnings that Saddam had all those terrible weapons and would use them against America. Bush would have been a fool not to draw up plans. Gee, wait till the critics find out that FDR, without ever informing the media, was plotting to fight Japan and Germany before Pearl Harbor.” YearsHas BeensWarEndsUseAmericaFightingWaitingLevelsSecretPlansMediaFoolTerribleWeaponsLowsDrawsShotsSightCriticsIraqBritishGermanyJapanWarningPilotsIrrationalPearlsSaddamHarborsSanctionsLow LevelInformingWar Plans Author:John Leo

“We were telling, and frankly the media didn't take it seriously, during the time when we tried to point out that Debbie Wasserman Schultz was biased.

“The book Manufacturing Consent, which I co-authored with Edward Herman, begins with a description of the structure and institutional setting of the commercial media, and then draws some rather simple-minded conclusions about what we would expect the media product to be, given these (not particularly controversial) conditions.” BookGivenSimpleConditionsMediaProductsDrawsStructureSettingConclusionSettingsDescriptionConsentControversialManufacturing Author:Noam Chomsky
