Quote

Exaggeration is my only reality.

Exaggeration is truth that has lost its temper.

Without the balancing context of everyday life, all you have is the news, and news by its nature is generally bad.

I can't take 24-hour news. Life is what it is, and we can handle it, but when you're getting it pushed down your throat, it's too much.

An obsessive attention to the news, I've realized, only serves to paint a picture of the world as a throbbing blob of dysfunction, most news falling somewhere on a scale from disappointing to calamitous.

To a journalist, good news is often not news at all.

You turn on the news, there're no facts anymore. 'Here's what's happening today,' and then you cut to thirty minutes of people in little boxes, little windows, telling you their opinions on it. It seems like all the news is going on in the ticker-tape on the bottom of the news. It's all opinion, it's all editorial.

It's funny being the big news every day - and the good news every day.

Exaggeration is a blood relation to falsehood and nearly as blamable.
