'People are more careful now... because this whole notion of freedom of the press becomes a contradiction when the people who own the media are the same people who need to be reported on."

This is why I do not watch television, other than jersey shore, because I do not trust the information from television networks.

"There's a big difference between simple crime like holding up a 7-11 and creative crime as a form of expression...Creative crime is...uplifting to the soul...What better way to survive our anthill society than by abusing the very mass media that sedates the public?"

I love that there are infinite way in which to culture jamm! like subvertising, media hoaxing, audio agitprop, billboard banditry.
