Because he's had every establishment off side; Trump doesn't have one establishment, maybe with the exception of the Evangelicals, if you can call them an establishment, but banks, intelligence [agencies], arms companies... big foreign money ... are all united behind Hillary Clinton, and the media as well, media owners and even journalists themselves.

I try to use social media as a tool for good. Fortunately I can say that social media has treated me pretty well. I've been exempt from a lot of the mean comments. Of course it happens now and then.

My interest in time emerged out of an engagement with the media that I was working with. Film and performance are temporal media. They rely on time.

This has upset the 'media establishment' but has made Fox the most powerful name in the news.

Critical journalism has gone out of fashion, or rather, it has been bought out. And so, we have much less of it than we did during the Vietnam era, where there was very critical reporting on the Vietnam War and a lot of disagreement among the media.

But the relationship they've got with Obama is above and beyond that.

My view is Fox News is a propaganda outlet for the Republican Party and I don't comment on Fox News.

The mainstream media today has the biggest disconnect with its audience that it's ever, ever had.

Political propaganda seeks to affect the way people perceive the world in order to affect the way they behave.

It's easier to set off a bomb that kills innocent civilians in a market than it is to plot an assassination, but that obviously was true before as well.

It's almost like there's a marketplace for terror in the media, and these people are supplying the attacks, knowing that the media will cover them sensationally.

Tailoring the facts to fit one's theory constitutes neither good science nor good journalism. Rather, it is intellectually dishonest and, when published for consumption by a mass audience, adds up to propaganda.
