Dennis Quaid Quotes

I think yellow journalism is something that appears everywhere, in the underdeveloped and developed worlds alike.

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

… yellow journalism

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.'

The tabloids create their own stories about people's lives that don't exist.

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

Yellow journalism is defined by prominent headlines that screamed excitement, often about comparatively unimportant news; a lavish use of pictures, many of them without significance; faked interviews and stories; a Sunday supplement and color comics; and a more or less ostentatious sympathy with the 'underdog,' with campaigns against abuses suffered by the common people.

It is sad that some people in the media like to create stories to sell their media, without any real facts to back up their stories.

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.

Sometimes I wouldn't give an interview because I didn't have the time or something else was more important. So they come up with a story which I don't think is always true, but they have to sell papers.

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.

Headlines twice the size of the events.

I did buy 'The Sun' a few times, but I just don't read the tabloids. Sometimes they can have genius witty headlines, but that's all. There's nothing to read.

People who read the tabloids deserve to be lied to.

Well, I mean, the real attack on truth is tabloid journalism in the United States.

I don't appreciate, really, talking to journalists when there's a sense of wanting to kick up dust to sell more papers or get more hits on their Internet site.

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.

There are two sayings that are familiar in every news room across the country: 1) sex sells; 2) if it bleeds it leads.

It seems like everyone's got an agenda, and the agenda seems to be selling magazines or air time with sensational stories.

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 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.

Hyperbolic headlines always attract more attention than mundane truths.

A lotta stuff has been written about me that I never said. Stories that were lies. One guy wrote that young as I was during World War II, I actually got a rifle and fought off the Germans. Which is ridiculous, insane. I was just six.

They are evil people, the press, the media, they are bad people, and nobody, nobody lies like they do. I never like it when they tell me that, and I'm sure they're right, but when people say things that are fabrication - you know, there were fabricated stories made up, these were fabrications. Out of nowhere.
