I don't really read a lot of newspapers. I don't pay attention to what is being said or written about me. I've had lots of experiences in the past when I got too much into it. That sort of diverts your focus.

I understand that it's incredibly difficult to watch what's happening on the news every day and not become inured to it. I've fallen victim to that myself, wanting to look away.

I hardly ever watch the news... I love reading newspapers, but I know they're dying out.

The media dwells mostly on negativity.

I do not like to get the news, because there has never been an era when so many things were going so right for so many of the wrong persons.

I do think the biggest problem newspapers have is loss of trust, and I feel that's a result of failure to speak truth to power.

Sometimes negative news does come out, but it is often exaggerated and manipulated to spread scandal. Journalists sometimes risk becoming ill from coprophilia and thus fomenting coprophagia: which is a sin that taints all men and women, that is, the tendency to focus on the negative rather than the positive aspects.

You know journalists. You know the media. They are going to hang on to anything negative they possibly can.

I read the 'Times' and 'Post,' but I have nothing against the 'Daily News.' I also fish around the Internet for entertainment news but find most of what I read to be untrue or partially true.
