Jacques Ellul quote: "Mass media provides the essential link between the individual..."
Mass media provides the essential link between the individual and the demands of the technological society. Jacques Ellul
Once upon a time there were mass media, and they were wicked, of course, and there was a guilty party. Then there were the virtuous voices that accused the criminals. And Art (ah, what luck!) offered alternatives, for those who were not prisoners to the mass media. Well, it's all over. We have to start again from the beginning, asking one another what's going on. Umberto Eco
There is a cultural factor promoting violence which nowadays undoubtedly is highly effective is the mass media. And particularly everything that enters our minds through pictorial media. Alva Myrdal
Ted Koppel quote: "People shouldn't expect the mass media to do investigative..."

As all advocates of feminist politics know most people do not understand sexism or if they do they think it is not a problem.

Their misunderstanding of feminist politics reflects the reality that most folks learn about feminism from patriarchal mass media. Bell Hooks
A motion picture, or music, or television, they have to maintain a certain decorum in order to be broadcast to a vast audience. Other forms of mass media cost too much to produce a risk reaching only a limited audience. Only one person. But a book. . . . A book is cheap to print and bind. A book is as private and consensual as sex. A book takes time and effort to consume - something that gives a reader every chance to walk away. Actually, so few people make the effort to read that it's... Chuck Palahniuk
Pundits are always blaming TV for making people stupid, movies for desensitizing the world to violence, and rock music for making kids take drugs and kill themselves. These things should be the least of our worries. The main problem with mass media is that it makes it impossible to fall in love with any acumen of normalcy. There is no 'normal,' because everybody is being twisted by the same sources simultaneously. Chuck Klosterman
We have currently a built-in allergy to unpleasant or disturbing information. Our mass media reflect this. But unless we get up off our fat surpluses and recognize that television in the main is being used to distract, delude, amuse, and insulate us, then television and those who finance it, those who look at it, and those who work at it, may see a totally different picture too late. Edward R. Murrow
The main problem with mass media is that it makes it impossible to fall in love with any acumen of normalcy. There is no 'normal' because everybody is being twisted by the same sources simultaneously. Chuck Klosterman
We have to constantly critique imperialist white supremacist patriarchal culture because it is normalized by mass media and rendered unproblematic. Bell Hooks
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "Do we have free will, or do the mass media and our culture..."
Do we have free will, or do the mass media and our culture control us, our desires and actions, from the moment we’re born? Chuck Palahniuk
What I want is to respond to the challenge posed by the mass media - to permit the novel to say what can only be said by narrative - to allow it to be itself. Carlos Fuentes
The bosses of our mass media, press, radio, film and television, succeed in their aim of taking our minds off disaster. Thus, the distraction they offer demands the antidote of maximum concentration on disaster. Ernst Fischer
Jacques Ellul quote: "It is the emergence of mass media which makes possible the use..."
It is the emergence of mass media which makes possible the use of propaganda techniques on a societal scale. Jacques Ellul
Roger Stone quote: "The general election is not an organizational exercise - it's..."
