I don't worry about being bothered by the media. Either I'm going to talk or not talk.
I think relationships are broken up because of the media.
I think a lot of the media and reporters, they let what I get into and my outside life interfere with my boxing life, and they let that cross, and that should never cross.
Whenever there's a new form of media, we always think it's going to replace the old thing, and it never does. We still have radio, however long after TV was introduced.
Politicians used to be able to change the subject. With television they cannot do that any more.
Trump's Fox News fixation was a major theme of his presidency. He hired people from Fox, fired people because of Fox, and gave most of his national TV interviews to Fox. Sometimes it was hard to tell where Trump ended and Fox began.
Television is on a small screen, inside someone's living room, so you have to grab their attention while they are having dinner or cooking or doing something else.
