Sean Spicer Quotes

I think everyone knows the news has become ridiculous. It's entertainment driven.

I think that there's become a very clickbait mentality among a lot of reporters, where they're more interested in their clip or their click than they are about the truth and the facts.

I figure no matter what interview I do, the real good 'journalists' are going to find the completely irrelevant quotes that will drum up some controversy and stick it on their page to get some clicks and completely miss the real context of what the interview is about. That's what we do nowadays and call it 'journalism.'

There's no worse crime in journalism these days than simply deciding something's a story because Drudge links to it.

What appears in newspapers is often new but seldom true.

A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier.

There has been so much rubbish written up in the papers over the years.

Sensationalism sells: Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.

As a rule I don't care a damn what any crooked newspaperman says about me, because they're mostly goddamn liars.

… yellow journalism

That's the media now. They get lazy. Rumors become fact. Some blogger says something, next thing you know, it's in 'USA Today.'

I do feel like the media is one of the biggest problems. If you look at all these rolling news channels, they sensationalize the story, they focus on gossip, and they don't actually tell the full story.

You think that the CNN hosts can aggressively challenge government officials? I don't think so. It doesn't look that way at all. And of course, when you get to Fox News, they're a whole different animal: they're purely propaganda.

Fox News is garbage.

Oh press - must you spread hate? Can't you just stick to being wrong?

A lot of news is just entertainment masquerading as news.

People think they're getting objective information, but they're not. They're getting news wrapped up in opinion.

I guess the issue that I have with all the news organizations that have a political MO, if you will, attached to them is that they sometimes jump to conclusions about what this will mean. Get ahead of themselves.

What they will do is, you know the tabloids. They'll take one element of a story that may be true and they'll build everything around it. Take a picture and invent a story around it.

I never, ever have seen media this way. It's almost indescribable. Making up stories, refusing to run real stories. It's making themselves look like utter fools. There's no journalism, there is no media. There's pure, full-fledged advocacy here.

Right-wing media and politicians are looking for any opportunity to be critical of the reporters who are here. Some reporters make judgments, but that is not my style. I present both sides and report what I see with my own eyes.

Unfortunately because of the variety of outlets for people to speak their minds on the Internet and that kind of thing, it's made the media in general more opinionated and there's more of a 'gotcha mentality' than real reporting.

The papers, you know, they're always gonna just make stuff up. They think it's in the public interest.

Ultimately journalism has changed... partisanship is very much a part of journalism now.
