Beverage Media Quotes

It really is my opinion that media in general are so bad that we have to question whether the world wouldn't be better off without them altogether. They are so distortive to how the world actually is that the result is.. we see wars, and we see corrupt governments continue on. ~ Julian Assange

The American people and media have an incredibly short memory despite technological tools that allow for infinite storage and recall. ~ Baratunde Thurston

Upon reflection, it is relatively easy to understand how Americans come to deny the evils of mass incarceration. Denial is facilitated by persistent racial segregation in housing and schools, by political demagoguery, by racialized media imagery, and by the ease of changing one's perception of reality simply by changing television channels. There is little reason to doubt the prevailing "common sense" that black and brown men have been locked up en masse merely in response to crime rates when one's sources of information are mainstream media outlets. ~ Michelle Alexander

My work on prime gaps lead to lots of media coverage, some good, some bad, some ugly, and some merely ridiculous. For example, a reporter of our university newspaper, who admitted that he is still learning English, wrote that "Prof. Goldston solved one of the most controversial problems in the prime number theory last month with support from his Turkish partner." ~ Daniel Goldston

Personal value is the kind of value we receive from being active instead of passive, creative instead of consumptive. ~ Clay Shirky

Media must not be allowed to carry only bad news ~ Sunday Adelaja

Over fifteen years of studying the American Right professionally - especially in their communications with each other, in their own memos and media since the 1950s - I have yet to find a truly novel development, a real innovation, in far-right 'thought.' ~ Rick Perlstein

One of the ironies of a conference dedicated to all things digital and virtual is that the best ways to connect with people are surprisingly old-school. Social media tools can improve the odds of a serendipitous encounter at SXSW, but old-fashioned hustle, palm-pressing and - above all - creativity go a long way. ~ Ryan Holmes

In the beginning, the media was calling me a bad boy all the time because of the way I act and feel onstage. None of them have ever taken the time to get to know me when I climb offstage. ~ Bobby Brown

Majorities can be wrong, majorities can overrule rights of minorities. If majorities ruled, we could still have slavery. 80% of the population once enslaved 20% of the population. While run by majority rule that is ok. That is very flawed notion of what democracy is. Democracy has to take into account several things - proportionate requirements of people, not just needs of the majority, but also needs of the minority. Majority, especially in societies where the media manipulates public opinion, can be totally wrong and evil. People have to act according to conscience and not by majority vote. ~ Howard Zinn

HS is supposedly a story that is also a game. In games, the characters die all the time. How many times did you let Mario fall in the pit before he saved the princess? Who weeps for these Marios. In games your characters die, but you keep trying and trying and rebooting and resetting until finally they make it. When you play a game this process is all very impersonal. Once you finally win, when all is said and done those deaths didn't "count", only the linear path of the final victorious version of the character is considered "real". Mario never actually died, did he? Except the omniscient player knows better. HS seems to combine all the meaningless deaths of a trial-and-error game journey with the way death is treated dramatically in other media, where unlike our oblivious Mario, the characters are aware and afraid of the many deaths they must experience before finally winning the game. ~ Andrew Hussie

The belief that we are what the media says we are, what people perceive we are, is soon to be what we think we are. We are treated based on this warped perception. It is hard to get away from it. ~ Kevin Eubanks

Conversation is king. Content is just something to talk about. ~ Cory Doctorow

In a digitally connected world a byte of data can boost or bite your brand ~ Bernard Kelvin Clive

A new medium is never an addition to an old one, nor does it leave the old one in peace. It never ceases to oppress the older media until it finds new shapes and positions for them. ~ Marshall McLuhan

Is advertising a profession, like law or medicine? How many new parents clutch their baby to their breast and declare, 'I want this child to grow up to be a media planner'? ~ Jef I. Richards

So accustomed have male media leaders become to the wealth and decision-making power they command they just can't parse the notion of equality between the sexes. They have never understood the world feminists actually envision, in which women and men share equal educational, economic, and professional opportunities, live free of abuse, can be fully sexual without judgment or coercion, and where girls and boys alike can embrace their authentic selves because no one will be told that strength, tenderness, confidence, empathy, or aggression is "inappropriate" for their gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or physical ability. ~ Jennifer L. Pozner

The traditional harmlessness and refusal to take life in
any form has nation-shaking implications. The practice of meditation, for which one needs only "the ground beneath one's feet," wipes out mountains of junk being pumped into the mind by the mass media and supermarket universities. ~ Gary Snyder

Formula 1 would be a paradise without the media. ~ Kimi Raikkonen

Sell-sell-sell sales methods simply do not work on social media. ~ Kim Garst

Media has the ability to make good seem evil and evil seem good. ~ Duncan William Gibbons

The grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down. ~ Adolf Hitler

It's so pathetically easy to set big groups of voters off angrily chasing their own tails in response to media-manufactured nonsense, ~ Matt Taibbi

[Veda:] 'The media presence and inability of people to keep anything to themselves anymore is working for *us*. He can't cover his tracks as well as he used to.'
'No, I guess he can't,' Dax said. 'Maybe we can do something with that.'
'Like what? Tell people to tweet us if they see a demon?' Ted said. ~ Jessica Lave

Do not expose yourself too much with the negative messages of the news media. Keep yourself informed but don't cultivate fear psychology. ~ Amit Ray

The Romulans may rip this base in half, pal. They may even kill me. But I'll be damned if they're going to keep me from enjoying a refreshing beverage. ~ Michael Jan Friedman

Mobile isn't just a media channel, it's her constant companion that makes juggling easier. It makes her feel like a better mom. ~ Tina Sharkey

It is a mistake to make propaganda many-sided, like scientific instruction, for instance ... As soon as you sacrifice this slogan and try to be many-sided, the effect will piddle away, for the crowd can neither digest nor retain the material offered. ~ Adolf Hitler

For musicians, learning to create your own visual media is as essential as learning to book your own shows. ~ Raymond Rasmusson
