Sensationalism sells: Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.

I'm not searching for hard news; I'm not a journalist, but I'm interested in pushing to boundaries of where we can do the kind of stories that we want to do. I mean, it's a big world and CNN has made it a lot bigger and they haven't flinched.

Eventually the story would spill over into the regular media.

The mainstream media spins stories that are largely racist, violent, and irresponsible - stories that celebrate power and demonize victims, all the while camouflaging its pedagogical influence under the cheap veneer of entertainment.

I wish there was a news channel that really told you what was going on in the world, not just sensationalized news.

There is a great insatiable hunger for good stories throughout the media.

I never, ever have seen media this way. It's almost indescribable. Making up stories, refusing to run real stories. It's making themselves look like utter fools. There's no journalism, there is no media. There's pure, full-fledged advocacy here.

People shouldn't expect the mass media to do investigative stories. That job belongs to the 'fringe' media.

With 24-hour news... the story moves on with the media.

There is a long-standing tradition in the mainstream press of middle-of-the-road journalism that is objective and fair. I would hate to see that fall victim to a panic about the Fox effect.
