I think you have a danger of regulating, putting regulations in place which will mean there will be no press in 10 years to regulate.
Press TV is one of the few TV channels anywhere in the West that fairly presents the Palestinian case.
When I go to the press conference before the game, in my mind the game has already started.
The word ‘Islam’ means ‘peace.’ The word ‘Muslim’ means ‘one who surrenders to God.’ But the press makes us seem like haters.
Bananarama were written off from day one. Nobody believed in us but us. We kept having hits despite the record company, despite the press.
The invention of the printing press was one of the most important events in human history.
I absolutely reject that idea that the press is liberal and what it does is liberal. In my view, it’s like accusing a doctor of malpractice or a lawyer of malfeasance.
Every generation has to protect every one of their rights, whether that’s freedom of the press, freedom of speech, or freedom of faith. You have to remain diligent.
I don’t often get angered by the things press spokespeople say. Most of these people have difficult jobs and are often forced to be the public faces of policies they had nothing to do with creating.
There are two proper ways to use garlic: pounding and blooming. Neither involves a press, which is little more than a torture device for a beloved ingredient, smushing it up into watery squiggles of inconsistent size that will never cook evenly or vanish into a vinaigrette. If you have one, throw it away!
I am convinced that dealing intelligently with the press is of the greatest importance to the success and effectiveness of a humanitarian mission.
Press coverage has been difficult for him. I did not set out to ensnare him with a child.
Islam does not believe in democracy, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, or freedom of assembly. It does not separate religion and politics. It is partly a religion, but it is much more than that. It has a political agenda that goes far outside the realm of religion.
The law isn’t justice. It’s a very imperfect mechanism. If you press exactly the right buttons and are also lucky, justice may show up in the answer. A mechanism is all the law was ever intended to be.
On the one hand, the press, television, and movies make heroes of vandals by calling them whiz kids.
Would the Protestant Reformation have happened without the printing press? Would the American Revolution have happened without pamphlets? Probably not. But neither printing presses nor pamphlets were the heroes of reform and revolution.
Some of the press who speak loudly about the freedom of the press are themselves the enemies of freedom. Countless people dare not say a thing because they know it will be picked up and made a song of by the press. That limits freedom.
The only time I ever really consider retiring is when I get fed up with the press. Which is often.
My level of intervention in the press, trying to control stories, is zero. Subzero.
We need to understand that an open society and free speech and press… really are the best weapons against al Qaeda and extremism.
I have big hands. I can’t do the touch-screen thing. I’m a button guy. I want to press buttons.
Hastiness and superficiality are the psychic diseases of the 20th century, and more than anywhere else this disease is reflected in the press.
When you stand up there and do a press conference, it’s a very preoccupied moment. You’re standing in front of cameras; people are watching you; it’s not so easy to be at ease.
I knew you had to go in and audition and maybe they’d hire you, and that’s where you start. I had a good understanding about press: that it’s the actor’s responsibility to publicize his or her films.
Frankly, I was surprised at how generous the Japanese press has been to the idea of a foreigner running Sony.
Too many managers manage by what the postgame press conference is going to be.
Unfortunately, the attitude of many towards the press, humanitarians included and especially government workers, is often one of suspicion, if not outright fear.
You can’t ask the press to service you with everything that they have and not expect some of the other stuff in return if you’re going to live your life like I have.
A federal Voters’ Bill of Rights could press the states to put non-partisan managers in charge of elections.
An able, disinterested, public-spirited press, with trained intelligence to know the right and courage to do it, can preserve that public virtue without which popular government is a sham and a mockery.
There’s certainly something very uncomfortable about the voyeurism involved in being in the press, being an actor, where people have a seemingly insatiable curiosity about, you.
You know, back in the 1950s and ’60s, when J. Edgar Hoover was making the FBI the respected organization it used to be, oftentimes they would find a fugitive and basically have his house surrounded, and then put out a press release saying he was on the top 10 most wanted list. And 10 minutes later, he’d be arrested.
Concrete you can mold, you can press it into – after all, you haven’t any straight lines in your body. Why should we have straight lines in our architecture? You’d be surprised when you go into a room that has no straight line – how marvelous it is that you can feel the walls talking back to you, as it were.
I’ve been dealing with the press for 45 years. You need a very long spoon to sup with them. While you are always grateful, they are like badly trained dogs. They smile and wag and bite your arm off.
I used to think the press was a necessary evil and now I don’t think it is. I think it’s something you choose.
I don’t like people who use the press to advance themselves in a way that they haven’t earned as an actor, performer or director.
I don’t see how English as we use it in Europe can be revivified. It’s like Latin must have been in about A.D. 300, tired and used up. All one can do is press very hard stylistically to make it glow.
I get to hear the really good or the really bad things in the press, but I don’t read it. I can afford to say that because public opinion does not drive U2’s audience.
Its attitude, which it has preached and practiced, is skepticism. Now, it finds, the public is applying that skepticism to the press.
The problem is that when Argentina doesn’t play well – and the same is true of Barcelona – the press think it is easy to blame Messi. We have seen time and time again that he wins games on his own when the team is not performing – but the media expect him to always be the hero.
One of the seminal moments I remember as a young punk is, when Roy Thomas was doing an editorial read-through of a book before it went to press, and being so gob-smacked by it, he just canceled it right there.
We put out press releases to tell people what had happened to me and that I had a large weight gain but a lot of people still didn’t know. The ones that didn’t know were floored. That was a real humbling experience for me.
There was no censorship of the press: in general, the War Measures Act could have been made even more radical.
There are members of the London press who seek to antagonise me, deliberately.
After Ann Godoff, who was editor-in-chief at Random House, left and went to Viking, I got to know Viking and the people there, and liked them very much. I also found a wonderful editor there, Wendy Wolf. It’s a very congenial press.
Tennis players go into a press conference, and almost every one of them is the same. We do very little differently on a day-to-day basis.
While most people in TV, radio, and the press have treated me wonderfully, some of the most important people want to pretend I don’t exist.
When my editors and I at ‘Rolling Stone’ came up with the idea to do a profile of General McChrystal, I simply just e-mailed General McChrystal’s press staff, said we wanted to do a profile, and said if you could give us any time to hang out with the general, that would be great.
Television broadcasts have, in the main, been more suggestive, less specific, more distant in their images than the print press: often you knew that lump was a dead body only because a chattering reporter told you it was.
AP promoted me to the White House beat because I knew Clinton, his family, friends, and staff better than anybody in the national press corps. Those contacts helped me break a few stories and get my career in Washington jump-started.
Honestly, I don’t read the press. I don’t know what they’re saying.
Thirteen years after the end of the Soviet Union, the American press establishment seemed eager to turn Ukraine’s protested presidential election on November 21 into a new cold war with Russia.
Overall, I’m not upset at the press.
The printing press did something really big for the world when everyone could get books in their hands and read.
The second is the damage to the credibility and independence of a free press which may be caused by covert relationships with the U.S. journalists and media organizations.
I wish the press were paying more attention to the erosion of the Constitution and the slippery slope that we’re getting into, by giving up the right of the Congress to talk about when and how and where we go to war.
