Jacob Rees-Mogg Quotes

We are inflicting opinion in our newscasts like never before. That was never done and never taught in our journalism classes.

The vast bulk of Murdoch's news output, including the huge majority of any falsehood and distortion, is simply the spontaneous product of his highly commercialised newsrooms. It sells.

News has become entertainment. Once that happens, a whole series of horrific events start to happen, whether it's the lack of dissemination of something that can inform you or something that actually negatively impacts society.

I don't like the American media - particularly Fox.

Criticizing Fox News has nothing to do with criticizing the press. Fox News is not a news organization. It is the de facto leader of the GOP, and it is long past time that it is treated as such by the media, elected officials and the public.

Dan Rather is guilty of not being skeptical enough about a story that was politically loaded.

Fox News's coverage of 9/11 and the war in Iraq improved its ratings, demonstrated its influence, and intensified the controversy over its practices.

News is what somebody somewhere wants to suppress; all the rest is advertising.

I hate to see the way journalism is devalued: We have to feed the machine; we have to feed the Trump outrage machine, to feed the anger against Trump, to feed the New York liberal anger.

I don't tell Rupert Murdoch who to endorse.

I have never seen anyone at CNN ever say, 'Boy, here's how we're going to deal with this today to put this guy down and elevate this guy up.' I've never seen it.

I know Fox News is the target of criticism but we take it in stride. Our No. 1 goal is to be accurate.

TV news has largely given Trump editorial control.

Not a single story on 'BBC World News' is any different from the British foreign policy.

Fox is described as a news operation, a news network, but it's also a political operation.

The way we get our news is very important, and the idea that the media doesn't always do right by us, and that they focus on things they shouldn't for ratings, is very important, and it's absolutely worthy of ridicule.

Sadly, the mainstream media doesn't like to linger very long on news stories that might present President Trump in a positive light.

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.

We are lucky to have a free press. But in some parts of it, you have to search hard to find items concerning any negative aspects to Brexit.

So often on CNN, there's a world-class journalist interviewing campaign rejects and ideologues and silly, craven people who do not care about informing people, that aren't there to help people understand what's going on in the news.

Journalists play God when they decide for their readers when to hide information from them. Frequently, those choices are unavoidable.

When Trump says fake news, he means journalism that makes points with which he disagrees, usually about him.

In the Rather/Bush incident, it was totally unfair. CBS was trying him and convicting him and trying to execute him on national television. They had made up their minds. CBS made the fatal error of trying to become the political opposition to George Bush. And, when they did that, they put themselves in an arena where they can get knocked on their fanny.

The media are very dishonest. In fact, in covering my comments, the dishonest media did not explain that I called the fake news the enemy of the people - the fake news. They dropped off the word "fake." And all of the sudden, the story became, the media is the enemy. They take the word "fake" out, and now I'm saying, oh, no, this is no good. But that's the way they are. So I'm not against the media. I'm not against the press. I don't mind bad stories if I deserve them. And I tell you, I love good stories, but we won't - I don't get too many of them.
