Lance Morcan
“If it’s true that nothing is more potent than an idea, then those who control the media can direct minds en masse.”
Lance Morcan, The Orphan Conspiracies: 29 Conspiracy Theories from The Orphan Trilogy

Haruki Murakami
“There's not a branch of publishing or broadcasting that doesn't depend in some way on advertising. It'd be like an aquarium without water. Why, ninety-five percent of the information that reaches you has already been preselected and paid for.”
Haruki Murakami, A Wild Sheep Chase

Rahul Guhathakurta
“In the political/geopolitical news segment - one who pays someone to create content has a hidden agenda, and one who likes to get paid for the content creation has a vested interest.”
Rahul Guhathakurta

Robert Bresson
“Cinema, radio, television, magazines are a school of inattention: people look without seeing, listen in without hearing”
Robert Bresson

Thom Rutledge
“With all the risk and danger television sprays at us each day like tear gas, it occurs to me they should simply open each evening's show by saying, "Welcome to the Channel Two News; we're very surprised you made it through another day.”
Thom Rutledge
