“The Times has much less power than you think. I believe we attribute power to the media generally that it simply doesn’t have. It’s very convenient to blame the media, the same way we blame television for everything that’s going wrong in society.” ThinkingWayBelieveI BelieveMediaTelevisionBlameAttributesConvenient Author:Michael Pollan
“I believe the media pretty much dictates the way relationships are handled, even in the way we handle ourselves. Abuse, cheating, threesomes, it's inspired by music and television.

“Maybe there is no good God. But there is definitely a devil, and his predominant passion is the religion of Protestant fundamentalists. I believe my country is beginning to resemble a theocracy.

“It's a very teenage idea - this idea that thought is ruined when we give over to television shows and glossy magazines and what they are telling us to do.

“I have said, and I believe, that potentially we have in this country a free enterprise system of radio and television which is superior to any other. But to achieve its promise, it must be both free and enterprising. There is no suggestion here that networks or individual stations should operate as philanthropies. But I can find nothing in the Bill of Rights or in the Communications Act which says that they must increase their net profits each year, lest the Republic collapse.” ShouldYearsBelieveSaidI CanCountryIndividualI BelieveRightsAchieveTelevisionCommunicationPromiseIncreaseBillsProfitRadioSuperiorsEnterpriseStationsRepublicCollapsePhilanthropySuggestionsBill Of RightsFree EnterpriseEnterprising Author:Edward R.
