The truth is that The Wild One -- despite an admittedly fictional treatment -- was an inspired piece of film journalism. Instead of institutionalizing common knowledge, in the style of Time, it told a story that was only beginning to happen and which was inevitably influenced by the film. It gave the outlaws a lasting, romance-glazed image of themselves, a coherent reflection that only a very few had been able to find in a mirror, and it quickly became the bike rider's answer to The Sun Also Rises. The image is not valid, but its wide acceptance can hardly be blamed on the movie. The Wild One was careful to distinguish between "good outlaws" and "bad outlaws," but the people who were most influenced chose to identify with Brando instead of Lee Marvin whose role as the villain was a lot more true to life than Brando's portrayal of the confused hero. They saw themselves as modern Robin Hoods ... virile, inarticulate brutes whose good instincts got warped somewhere in the struggle for self-expression and who spent the rest of their violent lives seeking revenge on a world that done them wrong when they were young and defenseless. ~ Hunter S. Thompson
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
We have bigger things to brood on and enormous reasons for wallowing in terminal craziness until we finally hit bottom. ~ Hunter S. Thompson
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
Call on God, but row away from the rocks. ~ Hunter S. Thompson
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
The best fiction is far more true than any journalism. ~ William Faulkner
Gonzo Journalism quotes by William Faulkner
Anything that gets your blood racing is probably worth doing. ~ Hunter S. Thompson
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
Most people who deal in words don't have much faith in them and I am no exception. ~ Hunter S. Thompson
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
The only way to write honestly about the scene is to be part of it. If there is one quick truism about psychedelic drugs, it is that anyone who tries to write about them without first-expierience is a fool and a fraud. ~ Hunter S. Thompson
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
Some people will say that words like scum and rotten are wrong for Objective Journalism
which is true, but they miss the point. It was the built-in blind spots of the Objective rules and dogma that allowed Nixon to slither into the White House in the first place. ~ Hunter S. Thompson
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously. ~ Hunter S. Thompson
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
Anyone that is able to put a high school film and gonzo journalism together, it's like, "Yes, please!" ~ Zoe Kravitz
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Zoe Kravitz
Take it from me, there's nothing like a job well done. Except the quiet enveloping darkness at the bottom of a bottle of Jim Beam after a job done any way at all. ~ Stephen Colbert
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Stephen Colbert
How long can we maintain? I wonder. How long before one of us starts raving and jabbering at this boy? What will he think then? This same lonely desert was the last known home of the Manson family. Will he make that grim connection.. ~ Hunter S. Thompson
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
In old days men had the rack. Now they have the Press. That is an improvement certainly. But still it is very bad, and wrong, and demoralizing. Somebody - was it Burke? - called journalism the fourth estate. That was true at the time no doubt. But at the present moment it is the only estate. It has eaten up the other three. The Lords Temporal say nothing, the Lords Spiritual have nothing to say, and the House of Commons has nothing to say and says it. We are dominated by Journalism. ~ Oscar Wilde
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Oscar Wilde
I don't actually see that much difference between telling stories in journalism and telling them on film. The tools are very different, but the basic idea is the same. ~ Peter Landesman
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Peter Landesman
Exaggeration of every kind is as essential to journalism as it is to the dramatic art; for the object of journalism is to make events go as far as possible. Thus it is that all journalists are, in the very nature of their calling, alarmists; and this is their way of giving interest to what they write. Herein ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
The dirty little secret of journalism is that it really isn't a profession, it's a craft. All you need is a telephone and a conscience and you're all set. ~ Andrew Sullivan
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Andrew Sullivan
A lot of journalism wants to have what they call objectivity without them having a commitment to pursuing the truth, but that doesn't work. Objectivity requires belief in and a commitment toward pursuing the truth - having an object outside of our personal point of view. ~ Nate Silver
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Nate Silver
The greatest monster that there is: fake news media: torture with bullying, psychological warfare, spying and then using truthful misleading to complete their plot. The cheapest job ever. ~ Maria Karvouni
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Maria Karvouni
I've taken the love of fashion from my mother, and journalism from my father. ~ Natalie Massenet
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Natalie Massenet
And I've been incredibly lucky to have a long career in journalism that has given me a front-row seat to some of the most important moments in modern American political life. ~ Judy Woodruff
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Judy Woodruff
It is the role of good journalism to take on powerful abusers, and when powerful abusers are taken on, there's always a bad reaction. So we see that controversy, and we believe that is a good thing to engage in. ~ Julian Assange
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Julian Assange
Many journalists now are no more than channelers and echoers of what George Orwell called the 'official truth'. They simply cipher and transmit lies. It really grieves me that so many of my fellow journalists can be so manipulated that they become really what the French describe as 'functionaires', functionaries, not journalists. Many journalists become very defensive when you suggest to them that they are anything but impartial and objective. The problem with those words 'impartiality' and 'objectivity' is that they have lost their dictionary meaning. They've been taken over ... [they] now mean the establishment point of view ... Journalists don't sit down and think, 'I'm now going to speak for the establishment.' Of course not. But they internalise a whole set of assumptions, and one of the most potent assumptions is that the world should be seen in terms of its usefulness to the West, not humanity. ~ John Pilger
Gonzo Journalism quotes by John Pilger
For most folks, no news is good news; for the press, good news is not news. ~ Gloria Borger
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Gloria Borger
None of our political writers ... take notice of any more than three estates, namely, Kings, Lords and Commons ... passing by in silence that very large and powerful body which form the fourth estate in the community ... the Mob. ~ Henry Fielding
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Henry Fielding
I well recall my horror when I heard for the first time, of a journalist who had laid in a pair of what were then called bicycle pants and taken to golf; it was as if I had encountered a studhorse with his hair done up in frizzes, and pink bowknots peeking out of them. It seemed, in some vague way, ignominious, and even a bit indelicate. ~ H.L. Mencken
Gonzo Journalism quotes by H.L. Mencken
I start each of my scripts by going on a journey of painstaking research and discovery, much as I do a piece of long-lead journalism. ~ Peter Landesman
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Peter Landesman
Factual reporting is all too often propaganda designed to provoke certain reactions from the masses. ~ James Morcan
Gonzo Journalism quotes by James Morcan
Journalism, like democracy, is not something that is achieved. It is a work in progress, and not every day is as good as the last. ~ John Maxwell Hamilton
Gonzo Journalism quotes by John Maxwell Hamilton
The press is, almost without exception, corrupt. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Henry David Thoreau
I mean, I think everybody in the world, all the young people in the world, went to journalism school and wanted to investigate everything. And I think they overdid it. I think that you have to investigate things, you have to e skeptical, but you shouldn't be vengeful. You have to be fair and you have to be careful. ~ Katharine Graham
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Katharine Graham
Arden had learned in journalism school, however, that there were three kinds of readers: Ones who always opened a book or magazine to page one, and started from the beginning; readers who always read the last page first (Arden could never understand those readers); and readers who randomly opened to a page somewhere in the middle to gauge their interest. I ~ Viola Shipman
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Viola Shipman
I see journalists as the manual workers, the laborers of the word. Journalism can only be literature when it is passionate. ~ Marguerite Duras
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Marguerite Duras
I firmly believe in a hybrid future where old media players embrace the ways of new media (including transparency, interactivity, and immediacy), and new media companies adopt the best practices of old media (including fairness, accuracy, and high-impact investigative journalism). ~ Arianna Huffington
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Arianna Huffington
The Defense Department's plan to ban newspaper reporters from pool coverage of military operations is incredible. It reveals the administration to be out of touch with journalism, reality and the First Amendment. ~ Arthur Ochs Sulzberger
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Arthur Ochs Sulzberger
I don't think a tough question is disrespectful. ~ Helen Thomas
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Helen Thomas
In almost every profession - whether it's law or journalism, finance or medicine or academia or running a small business - people rely on confidential communications to do their jobs. We count on the space of trust that confidentiality provides. When someone breaches that trust, we are all worse off for it. ~ Hillary Clinton
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Hillary Clinton
I wanted to be a fashion journalist and went to the London College of Fashion to do a journalism and promotion course. ~ Kirsty Gallacher
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Kirsty Gallacher
In a hyper-capitalist environment dominated by media giants, the means available to independent journalism have narrowed considerably. ~ Nayef Al-Rodhan
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Nayef Al-Rodhan
If you consider the great journalists in history, you don't see too many objective journalists on that list. ~ Hunter S. Thompson
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
I believe that 'advocacy journalism' is not an oxymoron. If that means that I'm going to disrupt the cable, partisan fracas of obsession over what this means from left and right, then so be it. I will be disruptive of it. ~ Chris Cuomo
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Chris Cuomo
I think that a failure of statistical thinking is the major intellectual shortcoming of our universities, journalism and intellectual culture. ~ Steven Pinker
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Steven Pinker
In the developed countries of the capitalist world, the mass media are beginning to become businesses, and huge businesses at that. The freedom of journalists is now becoming, in most cases, a very relative thing: it ends where the interests of the business begin ... In socialist areas, it is enough to recall that the means of social communication are the monopoly of the party. ~ Helder Camara
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Helder Camara
The problem today isn't low-quality journalism, it's too much noise. If one out of five 'Business Insider' stories is original, the other four would be culled. ~ Jason Calacanis
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Jason Calacanis
The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything, except what is worth knowing. ~ Oscar Wilde
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Oscar Wilde
The only thing I ever saw that came close to Objective Journalism was a closed-circuit TV setup that watched shoplifters in the General Store at Woody Creek, Colorado. ~ Hunter S. Thompson
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
To separate journalism and poetry, therefore-history and poetry-to set them up at opposite ends of the world of discourse, is to separate seeing from the feel of seeing, emotion from the acting of emotion, knowledge from the realization of knowledge. ~ Archibald MacLeish
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Archibald MacLeish
Copies have been dethroned; the economic model built on them is collapsing. In a regime of superabundant free copies, copies are no longer the basis of wealth. Now relationships, links, connections, and sharing are. Value has shifted away from a copy toward the many ways to recall, annotate, personalize, edit, authenticate, display, mark, transfer, and engage a work. Art is a conversation, not a patent office. The citation of sources belongs to the realms of journalism and scholarship, not art. Reality can't be copyrighted. ~ David Shields
Gonzo Journalism quotes by David Shields
I knew that a historian (or a journalist, or anyone telling a story) was forced to choose, out of an infinite number of facts, what to present, what to omit. And that decision inevitably would reflect, whether consciously or not, the interests of the historian. ~ Howard Zinn
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Howard Zinn
As much as the Pulitzer is the hallmark of journalism, I think what I love the most is when somebody says they took my column and it's in their wallet. I have had people open their wallet and show me a corner of a column. ~ Regina Brett
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Regina Brett
Though anger seems a pessimistic response to a situation, it is at root a symptom of hope: the hope that the world can be better than it is. The man who shouts every time he loses his house keys is betraying a beautiful but rash faith in a universe in which keys never go astray. The woman who grows furious every time a politician breaks an election promise reveals a precariously utopian belief that elections do not involve deceit.
The news shouldn't eliminate angry responses; but it should help us to be angry for the right reasons, to the right degree, for the right length of time – and as part of a constructive project.
And whenever this isn't possible, then the news should help us with mourning the twisted nature of man and reconciling us to the difficulty of being able to imagine perfection while still not managing to secure it – for a range of stupid but nevertheless unbudgeable reasons. ~ Alain De Botton
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Alain De Botton
I don't know how a reporter would ever understand a politician. Your job is supposed to be about finding the truth and enlightening people. Right? A politician's job is about hiding the truth and fooling people. Right? You want us to be better informed so we get smarter. They think we're dumb and it's to their advantage to keep us that way. ~ Dan Groat
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Dan Groat
Maybe it is because of Facebook or something else, but I have been interested in journalism for a long time. ~ Chris Hughes
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Chris Hughes
Journalism kills you, but it keeps you alive as long as you're doing it. ~ Horace Greeley
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Horace Greeley
If you end up with the story you started with, you weren't listening along the way. ~ Matt Heineman
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Matt Heineman
Drill in exact translation is an excellent way of disposing the mind against that looseness and exaggeration with which the sensationalists have corrupted our world. If schools of journalism knew their business, they would graduate no one who could not render the Greek poets. ~ Richard M. Weaver
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Richard M. Weaver
Arthur Church, who as I say took local journalism very seriously, wrote an eloquent defence of reporting even the nasty things. The gist of it was this, that it was in the public interest that the truth be known and known because it has been carefully reported and published. Without it, you are relying on the man in the pub, and rumour, possibly malicious rumour. If the local paper does for some reason get it wrong, then this would be known, and an apology and clarification would be made. This was not the best of all worlds, but better than the world of hearsay. ~ Terry Pratchett
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Terry Pratchett
I've found there to be a tremendous amount of East Coast snobbery in the journalism world. ~ Diane Lane
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Diane Lane
From journalism I learned to write under pressure, to work with deadlines, to have limited space and time, to conduct and interview, to find information, to research, and above all, to use language as efficiently as possible and to remember always that there is a reader out there. ~ Isabel Allende
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Isabel Allende
Advertising was only meant to be a very small part of my life. I had intended that I would work extensively in journalism for about five or six years and then I'd become a writer. ~ Bryce Courtenay
Gonzo Journalism quotes by Bryce Courtenay
Concussions is one of these pack journalism issues, frankly. There's no increase in concussions. The number is relatively small. The problem is, it is a journalist issue. ~ Paul Tagliabue
