Newspapers are the one medium which force you to see the widest possible viewpoint, with (diverse) op-ed articles and balanced stories.

While all (media outlets) individually have their problems, it's the combination of all of them which is key. TV is like greasy food; I have burgers and french fries every so often. But I wouldn't be surprised to weigh 400 pounds if I ate that every day.

A media diet is very much like a real diet . . . mix the different food groups. Nobody says you shouldn't ever eat sugar or ice cream, and nobody says you should eat raw spinach every day. News is one of the most important functions and there's entertainment . . . but the two tend to be blurred together more often.

more stable than newspapers indicate.

The difference between burlesque and the newspapers is that the former never pretended to be performing a public service by exposure.
