People say I manipulate the media. Well, duh. We live in a media culture, so why on earth wouldn't I?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every time you touch those who have power over the media, they seek to stop you.
The media chooses to portray the most extreme and violent aspects of a place. I do the opposite and portray the normality.
The media tries to do what they do. You can't stop. You gotta get money.
I cover media people the way they cover politicians.
It's so easy to manipulate an audience, but it's nearly always clear that you are being manipulated. I think even people that are not critically attuned are aware of cynical manipulation in film.
It is now such a complex society in terms of media. It just comes at us from every direction. You kind of have to push it all away.
Every book I write, the media just keeps punching me in the face.
To be honest with you, I worry about concentration of ownership in media, where you have a handful of media conglomerates largely controlling what we see, hear and read.
I don't spend most of my life in front of the media.
I don't do the media because of 'Woo-woo, Julia Butterfly,' as I call it. I'm not into promoting me. I'm into talking about why I've done what I've done, why I continue to do this work and why other people should care.
