“I think when Fox News goes to the Megyn Kellys, the Bret Baiers, and people who don’t have much experience, who haven’t covered campaigns, the result is, sometimes you have these inane questions that come out and, frankly, waste everybody’s time.” PeopleThinkingSometimesResultsHavensWasteNewsCampaignsCoveredFoxesFox News Author:David Shuster
“Bad news drives out good news. The irrational is more controversial than the rational. Concurrence can no longer compete with dissent. One minute of Eldridge Cleaver is worth ten minutes of Roy Wilkins.

“The news media reported the $250 million as an unthinkably huge waste of money and proclaimed that something was wrong with NASA. The result was an investigation and a congressional hearing.

“We sit at our consoles and play "Gears of War", but we don't see images from war. We don't turn on the news and see the evidence of war, the result of war. Maybe twice a year, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, we'll go out, we'll hang our flags, we'll try to inculcate in our children some sense of national honor for the fallen. But really, we don't see it. We just don't see the pictures. There's no drive-by on the freeway of death up close. So we don't really see bravery.” TryingYearsChildrenWarPlayTurnsResultsHonorNewsEvidenceBraveryOur ChildrenFallenFlagsVeteranMemorialTurn-onGearsMemorial DayConsoleVeterans DayFreeways Author:Jamie Lee Curtis
