Alex Pareene Quotes

The press is like any business. It's a group of really intelligent individuals that ends up being one slathering, one-eyed, drooling monster.

Conservative talk radio works because there are lots of conservatives who are convinced that they are not getting the whole story from the regular media.

You can debate when the conservative movement became a racket - I nominate 1996, the year Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes created Fox News Channel to monetize right-wing outrage - but there is no doubt it has long since passed that point.

The questions I get invariably focus on Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity. It's no secret Hannity is conservative, and O'Reilly certainly is not a liberal. Beck goes well beyond conservatism to some very strange places.

But in the right-wing media, they do have a right-wing bias. And they also have an agenda. So their agenda is: we're an adjunct of the Republican Party, and we're going push that agenda every day, and, as you say, brand these stories that help further the right-wing cause.

As the mainstream media has become increasingly dependent on advertising revenues for support, it has become an anti-democratic force in society.

The right wing has monopolized the AM radio airwaves.

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.

The media tries to do what they do. You can't stop. You gotta get money.

I've been interested in watching the level of conservative misinformation that circulates through the media.

Because I have an opinion, I have become public enemy number one to the Fox News Channel and the right wing.

Conservatives frequently complain of being frozen out of the culture industry, though, like all industries, the culture industry will produce or sell anything it expects to profit from.

The reason that conservative talk radio works is because there is an audience for it.

I feel like the Left wants to destroy Fox News.

What Fox News has become in 2020 is a conclusion of decades of right wing media and rhetoric against the rest of the media. In the '90s it was about media bias. In the 2000s it was about media bias. Now, the rhetoric is so much more extreme. It's about enemies of the people.

Conservative journalists don't just have the inside track on Republican strategy - they help devise it.

I don't think that Rush, Hannity, Drudge, Ann Coulter, Fox News, and AM Radio can create enough of a balance to undo the distorted media that we get from the Democrat Media Complex.

Fox News is really two news networks. It's a center right news network that has good, solid, interesting coverage if you're watching Chris Wallace or the panel on 'Special Report' or anything like that. Then, it has what Hannity and others like him do, which is just a sort of tribal identity politics for older white people.

I think the media, by and large, if you look at surveys over the years, has never been conservative-leaning by any measure.

Even if everything its detractors say about Fox were true, the most liberal of liberal attitudes would be that one would get credit for being in the lion's den.

There is no news media. There's simply a bunch of people on television and in newspapers who are ranking members of the Democrat Party.

I don't think it is deniable: whenever we, I, conservative media, are really interested in something, the mainstream media purposely avoid it.

To be successful in talk radio, you have to have a conservative audience as well. Not enough liberals listen to it.

Media is totally Modi, Modi-media.

I don't check for Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reilly or any of these demons on the Right. They don't wake me up in the morning. I don't care about them, and they certainly don't drive the conversations I'm thinking about, but they do have an audience, and they do lie all day, every day about disenfranchised people.
