Journalists

«There is another reason journalists like to drink and eat together: they simply cannot think of better company.»
Author: Osborn Elliott | Keywords: Journalists
«The press today is an army with carefully organized weapons, the journalists its officers, the readers its soldiers. But, as in every army, the soldier obeys blindly, and the war aims and operating plans change without his knowledge. The reader neither knows nor is supposed to know the purposes for which he is used and the role he is to play. There is no more appalling caricature of freedom of thought. Formerly no one was allowed to think freely; now it is permitted, but no one is capable of it any more. Now people want to think only what they are supposed to want to think, and this they consider freedom.»
«Newspapermen, as journalists used to be called, have long been charged with the sin of cynicism. a characterization that many of us encourage to deflect attention from our far more widespread flaw, incorrigible sentimentalism.»
«There are honest journalists like there are honest politicians -- they stay bought.»
Author: Bill Moyers | Keywords: bought, Journalists
«Publishers are notoriously slothful about numbers, unless they're attached to dollar signs -- unlike journalists, quarterbacks, and felony criminal defendants who tend to be keenly aware of numbers at all times.»

«The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. [For] to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves-and the better the teacher, the better the student body.»
«We journalists make it a point to know very little about an extremely wide variety of topics; this is how we stay objective.»
«We journalists... are also extremely impressed with scientists, and we will, frankly, print just about any wacky thing they tell us, especially if it involves outer space.»
