Famous quotes containing the words straight and/or news:
“when the moment comes
well talk turkey,
well shoot words straight from the hip,
well play it as it lays.
Yes,
when death comes with its hood
we wont be polite.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
“The greatest felony in the news business today is to be behind, or to miss a big story. So speed and quantity substitute for thoroughness and quality, for accuracy and context. The pressure to compete, the fear somebody else will make the splash first, creates a frenzied environment in which a blizzard of information is presented and serious questions may not be raised.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
