The democratic approach to news is a very valuable thing. We’re always going to be dependent on the quality of reporting of mainstream media.
Kevin Rose
I do not believe in censorship, but I believe we already have censorship in what is called marketing theory, namely the only information we get in mainstream media is for profit.
Sam Sheppard
Mainstream media has convinced people that black people aren’t relatable. So when a Jewish person comes up to me and is all, ‘Oh man, I love that one scene from Episode 3, I watch it over and over again,’ I’m so happy. Because that’s what I want.
Issa Rae
I think maybe since there isn’t a great deal of access to the mainstream media and people don’t understand the language of mainstream media, if you put music out there with lyrics that are loosely political, people absorb some of it and spit it back out.
Thom Yorke

Mainstream media tend to just mouth the conventional wisdom, to see everything through the filter of right and left.
Arianna Huffington
Part of the problem is that if anybody has a gut reaction about an issue, they can go online and have it backed up. That said, they can also find support for their ideas in the mainstream media – because when the mainstream media gives a so-called balanced view, it’s often misleading.
Simon Singh
In mainstream media, everything gets turned into a stereotype of ourselves.
Roy Choi
The Trump administration wants to continue to delegitimize institutions like the mainstream media. The more they can confuse the lines between facts and truth, legitimate and illegitimate sources of information, the more they will be able to brainwash the small segment of the public they care about reaching.
Jen Psaki
I’m interested in continuing our conversation about the discomfiture I picked up in the mainstream media with one particular element of this debate. It was this discomfort with a law against adultery.

The Democratic Party, the mainstream media are using fear to control people and to control African Americans in particular. You cannot function properly if you live in an irrational fear.
Jason Whitlock
I don’t think I’m an angry person. I think I’m a person who’s angry. I’m angry at the Bush administration; I’m angry at the right wing media. And by that I don’t mean the media is right wing. I mean, there is a part of the media that’s not the mainstream media. That’s Fox, that is ‘The Wall Street Journal’ editorial page.
Al Franken
I thought it would be so cool to be a musician, but I always thought it was impossible, because I would never be accepted in mainstream media. The fact that I’m able to tour North America and around the world is an incredible blessing, and I am thankful every time I do it.
Eric Nam
So much of the mainstream media has taught us what beauty is, but everyone is beautiful.
Chrissy Metz
I hate whenever there’s a social issue that comes up in golf and people in the mainstream media who hate golf and who’ve conjured up all these stereotypes of people who are in the sport, the way they tear it down… I resent it, and I’ll defend golf and people in golf until my dying day.
Jim Nantz

Roseanne Barr
A lot has already been written about this. Criticism has been ferocious. Still, most in the mainstream media have stopped short of saying outright that Donald J. Trump, president of the United States, is a white supremacist, or white nationalist, or whatever it is these people call themselves.
Neil Macdonald
Never has the political class or the mainstream media that covers them been more out of touch with the American people than they are today.
Marco Rubio
Mainstream media can be controlled, right. Because messaging from mainstream comes from that particular news outlet or whatever. Then you have the top people driving that messaging, and then that’s what it is, right? Social media can really stir up a higher level of panic. If you think about it, it’s not controlled.
Dr. Disrespect
Yes, the mainstream media is painfully biased.

Kelly Slater
Believe me, I’ve known a lot of journalists, and their opinions on most subjects are wrong. If the entire mainstream media is aligned against Trump, it is just about the best endorsement he could hope for!

We can make his work reach youngsters by organising literary events and competitions in schools and colleges. We can also use mainstream media to spread Kaloji’s work among the public. Also it’s important to honour litterateurs when they are alive; sadly Kaloji never got his due in his lifetime.
Tanikella Bharani

Ben Edwards
In the Dobbsian view of America, the mainstream media isn’t evil because it’s liberal but because it’s lazy. And Washington is utterly corrupt, has sold out, Democrats and Republicans alike. And corporate America is an insatiable pig.
Jeanne Marie Laskas
Twitter has always been that refreshing place where I c

Twitter has always been that refreshing place where I can quickly find out what is going on in my tech world. I follow mostly entrepreneurs and VCs – some who I know and some who I don’t know. I have a few companies in my feed. But no newspapers, no magazines, and no mainstream media.
Brad Feld
Criticisms of mainstream media bias have been a staple of the conservative movement and talk radio from the beginning.

When you’re telling the truth and ahead of the mainstream media – like The Daily Caller, Breitbart, Cernovich, and other truth-tellers – then they’re going to think you’re wrong, because they can’t see what you see.
Mike Cernovich
The mainstream media has its own agenda. They do not want to print the facts. They have an agenda, they have a slant, they have a bias. It is outrageous to me.

Actors, like it or not, their voices carry deeply into the culture: people look towards them for attitudes, for right or wrong, and today, the mainstream media doesn’t really balance the unheard.
Mark Ruffalo
The mainstream media choose to flaunt story lines that make white America appear guilty of continued institutional racism, while black racism against whites is ignored as an acceptable disposition given our nation’s history.
Andrew Breitbart
Obviously, I agree with Trump on many of his criticisms of the mainstream media. You can absolutely argue that their failure to report honestly, to get outraged before we could, and to collude with the Clinton campaign directly led to the rise of Trump.
Dave Rubin
We need to boycott the mainstream media, and we need to go online, and we need to find credible news sources.
Ana Kasparian
People are interested in things not necessarily covered by the mainstream media, so they download things online. The categories are growing because people find out that they’re not able to get information about stories that are of interest to them on the evening news.
Soledad O’Brien
The biggest thing that I’ve noticed since the move to Barcelona was announced is just how positive the comments have been. It was not just in the mainstream media, but also on social media.

Lara Trump
The caricatures that the mainstream media and the Democrats have about Republicans have taken hold.

Walter Kirn
I think a lot of people of my generation are discomfited by the assertion of neutrality in the mainstream media, this idea that they’re the voice of God. I think it’s just honest to say, yes, you know where I’m coming from but you can fact-check anything I say.
Rachel Maddow
Let’s face it: WikiLeaks exists because the mainstream media haven’t done their job.
Jesse Ventura
