Neil Morrissey Quotes

The papers, you know, they're always gonna just make stuff up. They think it's in the public interest.

The essence of American journalism is vulgarity divested of truth.

… yellow journalism

I think everyone knows the news has become ridiculous. It's entertainment driven.

I most definitely would not buy the 'Daily Mail,' which pours a kind of livid torpor into the eyelids of the average Brit - I skimmed through a copy recently and couldn't believe the rubbish in it.

I think it's a shame that we have 'Bild' like you have the 'Sun'. Now serious newspapers like 'FAZ' and 'Spiegel' use a bit of the tone of 'Bild.' This is terrible.

A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier.

Most Americans may not realize that the news they consume is driven in part by the media mantra, 'if it bleeds, it leads.'

Well, I mean, the real attack on truth is tabloid journalism in the United States.

The media loves negative spin.

I operate on the principle that the mass media will never be accurate. They never have been. When did yellow journalism begin? After all, their basic principle is, simplify and exaggerate.

I criticize the media for inventing stories.

Like Trump, I would say that fake news is distributed 24 hours a day.

The way we get our news is very important, and the idea that the media doesn't always do right by us, and that they focus on things they shouldn't for ratings, is very important, and it's absolutely worthy of ridicule.

I do feel like the media is one of the biggest problems. If you look at all these rolling news channels, they sensationalize the story, they focus on gossip, and they don't actually tell the full story.

I love what news has become. It's no longer based on facts, it's based on entertainment.

Unless you're really interested in sleaze, you should not buy 'Newsweek.'

Criticism is nonsense. TV shows and newspapers just want to fill the space.

A lot of news is just entertainment masquerading as news.

News has become entertainment. Once that happens, a whole series of horrific events start to happen, whether it's the lack of dissemination of something that can inform you or something that actually negatively impacts society.

I am not anti-media at all. But the media, the news anywhere in the world, is based on drama.

The rise of a ubiquitous Internet, along with 24-hour news channels has, in some sense, had the opposite effect from what many might have hoped such free and open access to information would have had. It has instead provided free and open access, without the traditional media filters, to a barrage of disinformation.

Imagine what it would be like if you didn't know that the evening news was funded primarily by 'Big Pharma.' You would actually believe the stuff that they're saying. You might even think those are the stories that matter.

News isn't even the truth on television.

Most people I've talked to are convinced that they're not getting valuable information from news media anymore. I'm not talking about tinfoil-hatters either, these are intelligent people who believe their news media has failed them.
