“I'm just there to do interviews and stuff, because we have about 40 media people there, so it's a very, very busy week. But that's the only time.

“From a writing standpoint, maybe television is a little more satisfying because it's not all hinging on one thing. You can experiment, week to week, and you can be a little narrower in your scope one week, and then be a little broader the next week. But with film, everything can look the way you want it to look. You can really sculpt the final product. So from a directorial standpoint, film is more satisfying. But, they're both forms of media that I'd like to keep involvement in.” WayWantWritingLooksLittlesFilmFormNextOne ThingWeekMediaTelevisionProductsFinalsExperimentsSatisfyingScopeInvolvementStandpointNext Week Author:Seth MacFarlane
“We've had 20 years of mass murders throughout which I have repeatedly told CNN and our other media, if you don't want to propagate more mass murders, don't start the story with sirens blaring. Don't have photographs of the killer. Don't make this 24/7 coverage. Do everything you can not to make the body count the lead story, not to make the killer some kind of anti-hero. Do localize the story to the affected community and make it as boring as possible in every other market. Because every time we have intense saturation coverage of a mass murder, we expect to see one or two more within a week.” IfsWantYearsKindTwoStoriesBodyCommunityWeekMediaHeroMassMurderPhotographBoringIntenseAffectedKillersCan NotCoverageCnnSirensSaturationAnti Hero Author:Park Dietz

“I'm not going to play pundit on Donald Trump and criticize him. I will say the media's treatment of that illustrates a very, very different - I mean, it dominated the news for a week to 10 days once he was the nominee. In the primary, it didn't get, seemingly, even 30 seconds of news.” MeanDifferentPlayWeekMediaTrumpNewsPrimariesTreatmentCriticizeSecondsPundits Author:Ted Cruz

“I think the Davis Cup has some untapped potential. It should be as prominent as the Grand Slams when it takes place.
