“The media is tremendously important for all governments that are able to communicate through the it. It doesn't mean there is a balance of editorial opinion that favors what you are doing or that the opposition doesn't have its voice, but you have to be able to effectively communicate your story through the media.” MeanImportantStoriesGovernmentAbleVoiceOpinionMediaBalanceCommunicateFavorsOppositionEditorials Author:Stephen Harper
“Bridging the virtual world with the physical word is really when social media channels come to life and the magic happens. Because whoever coined the term 'social media' didn't do us any favors. It's not really media. It's more like the telephone, less like the TV.” WorldHappensSocialTermMagicMediaTvsSocial MediaFavorsTelephonesVirtual World Author:Amy Jo Martin
“The Obama administration already claims the power to wage endless and boundless war, in virtually total secrecy, and without a single meaningful check or constraint. No institution with any power disputes this. To the contrary, the only ones which exert real influence - Congress, the courts, the establishment media, the plutocratic class - clearly favor its continuation and only think about how further to enable it.” ThinkingWarRealClassInfluenceMediaClaimsInstitutionsCourtCongressContraryFavorsMeaningfulEndlessChecksAdministrationEstablishmentDisputesSecrecyConstraintsBoundlessContinuation Author:Glenn Greenwald
“There are those who believe a liberal or a conservative bias permeates the media. I don't.

“When you look at things like social media, that's an immensely powerful tool that I'm all in favor of. I think it's amazing. It's a powerful tool, and it's one that we're, as a species, still grappling with learning to use. It's like we've grown an extra tail and we inadvertently lash out and knock over all of the furniture.” ThinkingLooksStillsUseSocialPowerfulMediaToolsSpeciesSocial MediaFavorsExtrasTailsFurnitureLashesGrappling Author:Charlie Brooker
“There's always going to be - I don't care who it is, there's always going to be - the temptation in Washington to seek the favor of the leftist media. It's always gonna be there, no matter who it is. I can only think of one exception, and that's Reagan. It's the rule rather than the exception.” ThinkingI CanMatterCareMediaDon't CareFavorsTemptationI Don't CareExceptionLeftists Author:Rush Limbaugh
