“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.” ThinkingMeanPersonsStreetsMediaWallPagesAngryWingsAdministrationMainstreamJournalFoxesRight WingEditorialsMainstream MediaWall Street JournalAngry Person Author:Al Franken
“The media uses polls to create news stories. I think polls are just an extension of the editorial page, an excuse to get them on the front page.

“The more boring a newspaper is, the more it is respected. The most respected newspaper in the United States is The New York Times, which has thousands of reporters constantly producing enormous front-page stories about bauxite...The [New York] Post would write about bauxite only if famous celebrites were arrested for snorting it in an exclusive Manhattan nightclub.” IfsWritingStatesStoriesUnitedUnited StatesMediaFrontsNew YorkPagesBoringNewspapersEnormousPostsReportersExclusiveArrestedManhattanNew York TimesNightclubs Author:Dave Barry
“I learned capacity for self-reflection very early, finding it through interior monologues that books are so good at and that visual media is so bad at because it's so boring - nothing's happening. In a book, you can be inside the narrator's head for 50 pages, and nothing needs to happen. Then you learn to be inside your own head without something needing to happen. It's a very good antidote to a crazy, restless, "what's next?" culture - that you can just be in your own head and nothing is happening except that this is a rich place.

“I bailed out on social media for a while, and in short order I found I was able to sit down and read a book again. For the first time in a couple years I could read more than three pages without my brain wandering off into the ether. I drew a direct causal line between all this sort of ratta-tat-tat staccato stimulation that we get from the Internet and my growing inability to sit down and read anything that was longer than 500 words. But for me it came back because those synapses were already latent in my brain.” YearsFirstsBookAbleOrderThreeFoundSocialLinesBrainGrowingMediaCoupleInternetPagesFirst TimeDirectDown AndSocial MediaWanderInabilityStimulationLatentSynapses Author:Ron Currie Jr.
“A lot of artists have been persuaded into doing whatever they can do to gain attention. The media, of course, will position and promote the worst of them to the front page.

“In the media, traditional media like print, we had boundaries. You know, we had spaces that ads didn't leave. They stayed where they were on the page. They didn't float around over the text.

We have a demand for growth that is insistent.” KnowsKindLostGrowthSpaceMediaInternetDemandPagesBoundariesTraditionalBarriersPrintAdsFloats Author:Tim Wu
