It’s important to recognise that opposing racism isn’t just about presenting an alternative set of values; it’s about looking at how the far right play on people’s hardships in order to nurture a sense of enmity between white people and those racialised as migrants.
There is always a multitude of reasons both in favor of doing a thing and against doing it. The art of debate lies in presenting them; the art of life lies in neglecting ninety-nine hundredths of them.
Housing is predominantly presented as a generational issue: millennials aren’t able to get on the property ladder in the same way their parents were. But while it’s true that intergenerational fairness is an issue, this way of presenting the housing crisis glosses over much.
Some people thought we were presenting Archie as a false character. President Nixon thought we were making a fool out of a good man.
What is sad to me is not what Bill Nye thinks about me. What I found really unfortunate is that after presenting my stand on God’s Word, there were a number of Christians who were more complimentary of Bill Nye than of me because Bill Nye was defending evolution and billions of years.
Presenting the American songbook as a living, breathing entity that’s expanding all the time is very important.
I rarely come away from presenting the ‘Today’ programme without some sense of regret. There is always some question that I should have asked, or some point that I should have made. This is annoying but not surprising. Perfection is hard to achieve in a three-hour live programme.
The television presenting I have done has been quite sporadic, and it’s normally only lasted a few weeks or months, so it would be really fun to get a gig that was a bit longer.
It’s the hardest job in telly as a newbie. You’re writing standup every night on your own and presenting live TV. It’s like a really tough apprenticeship in front of two million people.
The way I’m portrayed on the Internet is partly my doing, but it’s partly the people that are presenting it so, you know, people come to know this strange version of a human. It can be pretty weird because people think I’m digging through dumpsters and smell like crap all the time.
The more I got into presenting things to the world, the further it was taking me away from what I was, which was someone who just used to sit quietly at a piano and sing and play. It became very important to me not to lose sight of that.
I always had a real love of children’s presenting, and I was lucky enough to do that and have an acting career alongside it.
Why, I ask, isn’t it possible that advertising as a whole is a fantastic fraud, presenting an image of America taken seriously by no one, least of all by the advertising men who create it?
Home gigs can be hard because it’s an odd collision. More than anything, I feel self-conscious when my family are in the audience. I’m doing this job which is not quite acting – part of it is me, part performance. You’re presenting a cartoon of yourself to people who know you as a line-drawing.
There is the odd exception, like Albert Einstein, but as a breed, scientists tend not be very good at presenting themselves.
The bottom line as far as I was concerned was presenting to the public who Gerry Ferraro was.
Sadly, some seem unable to accept that maybe what America needs is someone who will level with voters, and who isn’t shy about presenting things as they are, not like we would necessarily like them to be. That is no truer than on U.S. college campuses.
Playing football and presenting TV are totally different things, but there are similarities: it’s exciting, it can go well, it can go badly… the difference is when presenting goes badly, it doesn’t really affect anyone’s life, whereas when you have a bad day on the pitch, it affects people’s moods for a whole week.
I think male authors who want to try to tackle these issues of representation of women can generally do a better job if they try to question traditional notions of masculinity and the sort of toxic nature of traditional ways of presenting masculinity.
My dad always made a big thing about having well-cut suits. It’s partly a cultural thing, but for him, looking sharp and presenting yourself well was very, very important.
For the most part, the real work is done in the songwriting stage and recording; the next step is presenting to people.
An album, for me, is not just a commercial product. It’s about presenting a world to people, for them to explore and enjoy. How they do that is up to them.
Presenting football is something that I love to do. I’m very fortunate being able to do one of the BBC’s flagship shows.
In the 2000 election, George W. Bush, who had shirked military service, succeeded in presenting himself as more reliable on national security than Al Gore.
When I was working my way up, it seemed to me that only Westerns and ‘Star Treks’ or sci-fi movies could afford to get away with presenting the problems – like prejudice and desegregation, for instance – that we face in our everyday lives.
If you’re presenting yourself with confidence, you can pull off pretty much anything.
I think that anybody can go home, put the record on, and listen to it note for note, but there’s very little entertainment value in that, I believe. When you give people something visually entertaining to watch along with presenting the music, I feel it makes it a lot more interesting.
In the Children’s Zoo, Enrichment meant presenting the goats with a trash can smeared with peanut butter or dangling keys at the end of a broomstick in front of the cow. The goats would knock their heads around the inside of the can and emerge giddy, peanut butter drunk.
By presenting a faithful and honest record of my experience as a mother, I hope to show both my readers and my children how truth can redeem even what you fear might be the gravest of sins.
The thing that I’ve learned is that there really is no joy, and nothing ever good is going to come from negativity. Those are thoughts that, even if you were presenting an honest version of yourself, there’s just no point in sharing.
Around the courthouse when defense lawyers are chatting about their cases, the only question they ask each other is can you put your guy on the stand? Those conversations always assume the defendant is guilty. The question is just about the degree of difficulty in presenting a defense.
The fall of the Berlin Wall is very much a sequel, a continuation of the story about Eastern Europe emerging from war and Communism. The notion of presenting history as a story also appealed to me very much, since that is the way I look at the events I cover as a reporter.
I am very lucky because I am realizing my childhood dreams, and after presenting my shows it’s like a party.
When you vaccinate someone, or when you get infected, the microbe is presenting itself to the immune system in a way that the immune system recognizes the important elements of the microbe and makes an immune response, both an antibody response and a cellular response, to ultimately contain the microbe.
Good candidates can arrive at the binary search tree as the right path in a few minutes, and then take 10-15 minutes working through the rest of the problem and the other roadblocks I toss out. But occasionally I get a candidate who ‘intuitively understands’ trees and can visualize the problem I’m presenting.
TechCrunch evolved on the Web as a new way of presenting the news on the Web.
Presenting the Oscars was the most nerve-racking job I have ever done in show business. It’s very much a live show: they have comedy writers waiting in the wings, and as you come off between presentations, they hand you an appropriate gag to tell.
I used to really want to go on the stage and then the last couple of years I’ve done some presenting at some award shows. I was so nervous I thought I was going to be sick, so I don’t think me on stage for any length of time would work too well.
It’s still acceptable for male presenters to appear elderly but not their female counterparts. You will never find an old woman and a young man presenting combo.
I’ve always wanted to try presenting and see what it was like, and you know, it could be a huge mistake.
I want to make sure we are presenting to the South Australian people a Government that is open and accountable. I want to make sure that we maintain public confidence in government at all levels.
I always figure hey, look, I’m not a rock star, I’m an actor. I’m somebody who’s meant to be other people and I’m not meant to be here representing myself. I’m happier when I’m presenting myself as other characters.
TV presenting isn’t the hardest job in the world, and I’ve done all right financially out of it.
My favorite comedians are just presenting an argument, and they’re doing it in a funny way.
I never want to make people upset, but sometimes we may. When I interview people, I try to make it clear that our obligation is to what we uncover and to telling that story and to presenting it fairly and making sure everyone has a say.
I’m after joining the ‘This Morning’ family, so I’m going to be doing a bit of presenting. I’m going to be taking some phone calls, like an agony aunt type thing, I’m going to be taking on some challenges, they want me to do a skydive and drift a car and things.
I’m a believer in presenting something that is worth paying to see. I’ve always felt lucky in that the work that pleases me pleases other people as well.
