It seems not more reasonable to leave the right of printing unrestrained, because writers may be afterwards censured, than it would be to sleep with doors unbolted, because by our laws we can hang a thief.
You know, it really doesn’t matter what the media write as long as you’ve got a young, and beautiful, piece of ass.
I’ve met some great people that deal with me in the press. I’ve also met some people that were very dishonorable, frankly.
If you get good ratings, they’ll cover you even if you have nothing to say.
[The New York Times] don’t write good. They have people over there, like Maggie Haberman and others, they don’t – they don’t write good. They don’t know how to write good.
I think the 24-hour news cycle has helped exaggerate the differences between the parties. You can always find someone on TV somewhere carping about something. That didn’t happen 20 years ago.
My people keep telling me I shouldn’t write letters like this to critics. The way I see it, critics get to say what they want to about my work, so why shouldn’t I be able to say what I want to about theirs?
I don’t care what is written about me so long as it isn’t true.
The point is that if you are a little different, or a little outrageous, or if you do things that are bold or controversial, the press is going to write about you.
You can’t interview my brother! We can call this thing off – right now!
I notice in some of the newspapers that they have taken a bit of an interest in me. According to one headline Jeremy Corbyn welcomed the prospect of an asteroid wiping out humanity. Asteroids are pretty controversial and it is not the kind of thing I would want to rule out… without a full debate at conference and a review so can we have the debate later in the week.
I can understand the British media and why they are doing that. It does not add up to much. I’m used in my life to not paying much attention to some things.
Fake news is at an all time high. Where is their apology to me for all of the incorrect stories???
My Twitter has become so powerful that I can actually make my enemies tell the truth.
[on Megyn Kelly] You could see there was bloody coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever.
What I try to keep in mind is that there are going to be a lot of articles that are going to be misrepresentative of what I’m about as a person and as a writer.
Television enables you to be entertained in your home by people you wouldn’t have in your home.
I would rather have been beaten up in the media than live a life that wasn’t happy.
The media is really, the word, I think one of the greatest of all terms I’ve come up with is fake. I guess other people have used it perhaps over the years, but I’ve never noticed it.
If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you’re mis-informed.
The most important service rendered by the press and the magazines is that of educating people to approach printed matter with distrust.
