There is no real answer [to the U.S. economic crisis] but to remove brick by brick the capitalist system itself, rebuilding the entire society on socialist principles.

One survey that I saw that was published I think in Variety or Electronic Media within the last three weeks says that now the average hour of radio in the United States has 18 minutes of commercials.

As the mainstream media has become increasingly dependent on advertising revenues for support, it has become an anti-democratic force in society.

Our existing media system today is the direct result of government laws and subsidies that created it.

When the government allocates monopoly rights to frequency, and there are only a handful in each community, it's picking the winners in the competition.

If you look at the history of broadcasting, what you find is the National Association of Broadcasters is a trade association whose mission is to protect the interests of the commercial broadcasters.

And they've got to be held accountable; our broadcasting system has to be made accountable; and unless it is, it's going to be very hard to change anything else for the better in this country.

So the competition isn't once you got the license, running the station; it's getting the license.

Local television news, on both radio and television, is so appalling. Makes print journalism look like the greatest stuff ever written.

The notion that journalism can regularly produce a product that violates the fundamental interests of media owners and advertisers ... is absurd.

To wish a healthy man to die is the wish from a mind of sickness. To wish an ailing man to die is the wish of the ambitious.

Real life applications get tricky when we think about them.

People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything.

There is as much ingenuity in making an felicitous application of an passage as in being the author of it.

The world has changed and it's going to keep changing, but God never changes; so we are safe when we cling to Him.

As an actor I'm part of a long line of character people you can take back to the silent movies. There's always the little guy who's the sidekick to the tall, good-looking guy who gets the girl.

Added to the difficulty of learning to speak the language was the greater difficulty of finding terms to express the ideas which the missionary had come halfway round the world to convey.

When one man, for whatever reason, has the opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself.

This does not mean, of course, that we must think of waiting for the age of universal harmony.

Humans are very good at making algorithms work eventually.
