I think the press are good people; I think they're educated people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm very much in support of the free press, but the free press ought to be educational and informative. And I believe they have fallen down recently on that.
The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves - and the better the teacher, the better the student body.
I used to think the press was a necessary evil and now I don't think it is. I think it's something you choose.
I love the press; I even like the people that don't like me. If it wasn't for those people, no one would know who I was and I wouldn't have a gig.
If there's one thing that everyone can agree on, it's that, right or wrong, they hate the press.
As Americans, we rightfully place tremendous value on having a free and independent press. Our role as journalists is to give voice to the voiceless, and hold our leaders and institutions accountable. But the circle is only completed when that information is consumed by a free-thinking and engaged audience.
I hate dealing with the press. But I think it is a necessary evil.
I take a grave view of the press. It is the weak slat under the bed of democracy.
The press is the hired agent of a monied system, and set up for no other purpose than to tell lies where their interests are involved. One can trust nobody and nothing.
Let me tell you what the truth is... I have learned one thing in life: there is no such thing as bad press. There is not. That's a fundamental truth. The more bad things said about you, the more power they give to you.
