Chloe Sevigny Quotes

Most Americans may not realize that the news they consume is driven in part by the media mantra, 'if it bleeds, it leads.'

The media dwells mostly on negativity.

You know journalists. You know the media. They are going to hang on to anything negative they possibly can.

When you turn on the TV, you hear bad stuff, all the time.

The news media are, for the most part, the bringers of bad news... and it's not entirely the media's fault, bad news gets higher ratings and sells more papers than good news.

… yellow journalism

You know, the media always tries to twist things and make things into what they're not.

Headlines, in a way, are what mislead you because bad news is a headline, and gradual improvement is not.

That crossover of whether it's entertainment or news is the biggest crock of b.s. in television today, because it's all entertainment.

We all know that yellow journalism didn't just happen a week ago or a month ago, that yellow journalism has probably been with us as long as journalism has been with us.

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

I operate on the principle that the mass media will never be accurate. They never have been. When did yellow journalism begin? After all, their basic principle is, simplify and exaggerate.

The media is always looking for a story of one kind or another.

The media makes a big deal of small issues.

We get the papers: I prefer broadsheets because I had the fear of God put into me by the tabloids and, though I'm very much over it, I still don't really like to read them. It's a destructive vernacular that makes me angry and scared, and it is all sensationalist onomatopoeia and alliteration.

Criticism is nonsense. TV shows and newspapers just want to fill the space.

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

I'm kind of a gossip hound, but watching the media whip the small fires into giant forest fires so that they can cover the result is infuriating.

I think it's a shame that we have 'Bild' like you have the 'Sun'. Now serious newspapers like 'FAZ' and 'Spiegel' use a bit of the tone of 'Bild.' This is terrible.

The media doesn't always reflect reality.

The permanent campaign is inherently deceptive.

I don't believe what the papers are saying They're just out to capture my dime, Exaggerating this, exaggerating that.

The papers are only going to show what they want the readers to see. It's all propaganda, to be honest.

I start looking for adjectives in news reporting, and if there are too many of them, if they're all sort of repeatedly designed to influence my thinking in a certain way, I start getting concerned. I'm leery of people trying to paint a picture in a certain way.

The spin overwhelms the substance. That's very clearly what happened.
