The newspapers! Sir, they are the most villainous — licentious — abominable — infernal — Not that I ever read them — no — I make it a rule never to look into a newspaper.
The listeners can see through our manipulation of the news too clearly. It is all laid on too thickly.
When we hear news, we should always wait for the sacrament of confirmation.
Do not read the newspapers.
I would advise people occasionally to take the media on, but only when you know it's a manufactured product and not a news interview.
It is grievous to read the papers in most respects, I agree. More and more I skim the headlines only, for one can be sure what is carried beneath them quite automatically, if one has long been a reader of the press journalism.
It's lamented that the youth get their news from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. It's lamentable that they get more from them than from the news.
The public doesn't know what to believe anymore. We don't know what stories are supposedly true, this idea of 'fake news.' We watch it on what I guess you would call a split-focus. It's half entertainment and half mystery.
Don't believe everything that you read in the newspapers.
My sense from talking to college students is that you have a healthier sense of the diversity of opinions or arguments or analysis about issues. In our day it was just sort of, "Well gee, this is what the news says so that's the way it is." It didn't really get challenged that much.
Don't believe the fake media.
First rule in this world baby... don't believe ANYTHING you see on the news.
Don't believe everything you read in the trades.
I don't really read the tabloids, and you never know if what's being printed is true or not.
[Getting the truth in the New York Post has been as] difficult as finding a good hamburger in Albania.
And honestly, if anyone thinks they can get an accurate picture of anyplace on the planet by reading news reports, they're sadly mistaken.
If you watch a news channel, you wouldn't then say that that person who's watching the news channel thinks everything that the news channel puts out. You wouldn't think that.
I read the 'Times' and 'Post,' but I have nothing against the 'Daily News.' I also fish around the Internet for entertainment news but find most of what I read to be untrue or partially true.
I can't believe anything I hear on television anymore.
After once having made the mistake of watching television news, I had worried for a while about an asteroid hitting the earth and wiping out human civilization. The anchorwoman had said it was not merely possible but probable. At the end of the report, she smiled.
No news is good news. No journalists is even better.
People would pay money to work at CNN.
I don't read the newspapers, to be quite honest with you.
I'm supremely uninterested as to what is written in many of the newspapers.
You'd learn more about the world by lying on the couch and drinking gin out of a bottle than by watching the news.
