“So much of the news was invented for propaganda.”
“It's how the news becomes so powerful it doesn't need TV or newspapers. It exists in people's perceptions. It's something they invent, strong enough to seem real. It's the news without the media.”
“You have to get up pretty early in the morning to invent the news.”

“There is too much bad news to justify complacency. There is too much good news to justify despair.”
