“My work on prime gaps lead to lots of media coverage, some good, some bad, some ugly, and some merely ridiculous. For example, a reporter of our university newspaper, who admitted that he is still learning English, wrote that "Prof. Goldston solved one of the most controversial problems in the prime number theory last month with support from his Turkish partner."” StillsProblemLastsScienceNumbersSupportMediaExampleTheoryMonthsMathematicsUniversityUglyPartnersRidiculousNewspapersGapsPrimeReportersControversialCoverageTurkishLearning EnglishPrime NumbersMedia Coverage Author:Daniel Goldston
“The underground press serves as the only effective counter to a growing power, and more sophisticated techniques used by establishment mass media to falsify, misrepresent, misquote, rule out of consideration as a priori ridiculous, or simply ignore and blot out of existence: data, books, discoveries that they consider prejudicial to establishment interest.” BookUsedInterestExistenceGrowingMediaInternetMassDiscoveryPressesTechniqueRidiculousDataConsiderationEstablishmentFree SpeechSophisticatedMass Media Book:Ah Pook is here, and other texts Source: Ah Pook is here, and other texts

“Donald Trump refused to outline a health care plan. And they just kind of moved on, instead of pressing him on it. He gave a ridiculous answer on the national debt.
