Phil Elwood

“I’m paid to disseminate information. I tell the truth from a monetized point of view.”
― Phil Elwood, All the Worst Humans: How I Made News for Dictators, Tycoons, and Politicians

“As CNN broadcasts my message to millions of Americans, I realize my job isn’t to manipulate public opinion. My job is to get gatekeepers like CNN to do it for me. Once you have ink, your story becomes real. A conversation starts that didn’t exist moments before, a conversation nobody would think to have if you hadn’t started it. The public begins to accept something you created out of nothing.”
