“The corporate media is there to push the agenda of the sponsors, and many of those sponsors are weapons manufacturers. So it stands to reason that you won't get a diversity of opinions on television.” ReasonOpinionMediaTelevisionDiversityWeaponsCorporateAgendasSponsors Author:Michael Franti

“The news might be single-handedly trying to bring about an environmental catastrophe, which it will then report on. Super injunctions are interesting legal weapons really, they don't just gag the press, they gag them from mentioning the existence of the gag. Sport belongs in a news bulletin about as much as a mummified cat's head belongs in a Caesar salad. Combine the "mounting pressure" with the "growing cause" and you've got yourself a "media whirlwind" which you can also refer to.” TryingMightCausesSportsInterestingExistenceGrowingMediaWeaponsNewsCatPressurePressesEnvironmentalReportsCatastropheSaladWhirlwindGagsCaesar Salad Author:Charlie Brooker
“USA belongs to a handful of men who also control the media. Look at General Electric.

“[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
“But in this country, while you have to be competent to pull off a terrorist attack, you don't have to be competent to cause terror.

“The film and media technology that's available today is going to be the most potent weapon in our arsenal in tackling ideological intolerance and ignorance, as well as the kind of fear and stereotyping that can dehumanize the others as the enemy, as being somehow less entitled to the privileges and the aspirations that we have.” WellsKindTodayFilmEnemyTechnologyMediaIgnoranceWeaponsPrivilegeAvailableAspirationIntoleranceEntitledStereotypeIdeologicalArsenalTackling Author:Queen Noor of Jordan
“For those in the conservative movement to think that you're going to change minds only by preaching to the choir, you don't understand how media works.

“To have or not to have [chemical weapons] is a possibility, but to depend on what media says is nonsense, or to depend on some of the reports of the intelligence is nonsense and that was proven when they invaded Iraq ten years ago and they said "Iraq has stockpiles of WMD" and it was proven after the invasion that this was false ; it was fraud.
