“Cold Case Files and similar shows do bang up business, which points to a certain thirst for details in the viewership, but it seems like all the news chat shows continue to force the myth that Americans can’t stand detail and have no interest in an idea that can’t fit on a bumper sticker.” IdeasShowsSeemsCertainForceInterestCasesColdFitNewsDetailsMythThirstBangsFilesBumperStickerBumper StickerCold Case Author:Hal Sparks
“I get really frustrated during a crisis when I go through all the cable channels and find - very often with the exception of CNN - that I'm not watching news at all.

“I am an avid follower of the news, and sometimes you just can't take any more war, any more disasters, and you want to remind yourself there's beauty in the world.

I find beauty in melancholy.” WorldWayWantKindWarSometimesShowsFeelingsWantedSidesSadnessNewsDisasterWorking ItPoeticMelancholyFollowersCinematicAvid Author:Alexander McQueen
“Fashion is primitive in its insistence on exhibitionism, which withers in isolation. The catwalk fashion show with its incandescent hype is its apotheosis. A ritualized gathering of connoiseurs and the spoilt at a spotlit parade of snazzy pulchritude, it is an industrialized version of the pagan festivals of renewal. At the end of each seasonal display, a priesthood is enjoined to carry news of the omens to the masses.” EndsShowsFashionNewsMassVersionsIsolationDisplayPrimitiveGatheringFestivalsRenewalHypePaganParadesPriesthoodInsistenceOmenFashion ShowSpoiltCatwalkExhibitionismApotheosis Author:Stephen Bayley

Most of the pictures we consume are propaganda.” PeopleHardShowsRealityLyingRolesFashionPaperPhotographyNewsPhotographDeceptionPropagandaGlamorous Author:Martin Parr
“We're bombarded with liberal propaganda 24/7, from the early morning shows, Hollywood movies, documentaries and sitcoms, all major newspapers, fashion magazines, the sports pages, public schools, college professors and administrators, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Unless liberals specifically seek out Ann Coulter books and columns, which I highly recommend, or tune into Fox News or conservative talk radio, they have no idea what conservatives are thinking.” ThinkingBookIdeasShowsSchoolSportsMorningFashionCollegeMajorsNewsPagesHollywoodConservativeRadioNewspapersMagazinesNo IdeaPropagandaTunesProfessorsFoxesDocumentariesPublic SchoolColumnsSitcomEarly MorningFox NewsAdministratorsHollywood MoviesTalk RadioBombardedFashion MagazinesEtceteraCollege Professors Author:Ann Coulter
