Jerry Bruckheimer really is an executive producer, who obviously is the most successful producer in the history of film and television.

We're learning a tremendous amount of propaganda from television and the Internet.

That's basically what's going on now: Everything is propaganda.

With Jerry Bruckheimer, you know you'll get your money's worth. You're getting huge action sequences, it's going to be funny, and you know it's going to look great.

With every story that TV covers, somebody - some corporation, some shareholders - are making money. That's true whether covering Libya, Iraq, the tsunami in Japan, Osama bin Laden, whatever story there is. That day, the shareholders are making money off it. Every newspaper that's sold, somebody's making a dime.

I can assure you that I have never used my media companies for propaganda, and I will never do so.

I'm not really sure what gay propaganda is.

Propaganda does not deceive people; it merely helps them to deceive themselves.

The vast bulk of Murdoch's news output, including the huge majority of any falsehood and distortion, is simply the spontaneous product of his highly commercialised newsrooms. It sells.
