Journalist Jonah Weiner on What’s Wrong (and Right) With the Media“One of the things that I will feel least good about is the knowledge that some irreducible part of my job is to help rich people, who have partnered with rich companies, sell shit — and feel really good about themselves.”
Kurt Bardella on the Media“It’s no longer viable or plausible to try and say, ‘Oh, we’re just going to be objective.’ How could you not have an opinion at this point, when your reporter is sitting there and Donald Trump is calling him an idiot?”

Sheila Hagar on the Media“In a smaller town, you find yourself hoping that nobody recognizes you when you’re grocery shopping, because you don’t want to hear about how they hated this or that in the paper.”
