I have taken a break from the media spotlight for the past few years.

It was really weird dealing with the media. I had no idea how to handle it.

But having said that, there's also a sea change in attitude towards media.

I think people are sort of waking up to it now, how probably the biggest change in Internet media isn't the immediacy of it, or the low costs, but the measurability. Which is actually terrifying if you're a traditional journalist, and used to pushing what people ought to like, or what you think they ought to like.

I do find that the mainstream media oftentimes is what I would consider off base or has a bias.

In an odd way, it is refreshing to be around people who aren't attention-starved and media-addicted.

I was very intensely concerned with all kinds of new media.

The media has affected everybody's consciousness much more than most people will admit.

As to a media personality, well that just happened in large measure because people found me amusing, and I did lots and lots of T.V. news interview shows.

Conservatives were griping for decades about liberal media and nobody paid attention. Now, all of a sudden, one news channel has gotten a whole new community of people freaked out.
