More From John Von Neumann

I was on television a couple of years ago and the reporter asked me, "how does it feel being on mainstream media? it's not often poets get on mainstream media." i said, "well i think you're the dominant media, the dominant culture, but you're not the mainstream media. the mainstream media is still the high culture of intellectuals: writers, readers, editors, librarians, professors, artists, art critics, poets, novelists, and people who think. they are the mainstream culture, even though you may be the dominant culture."
Art Couple Thinking
In the founding days of the constitution, the purpose of the media was to make sure that powerful government officials were held accountable. it really was. i mean, it was founders who hated the media like everybody else hates the media, but they understood the role they played. this media long ago when it comes to hillary clinton/bill clinton and the democrat party? no, no, no, no. they're the democrat party now. there is no media.
Powerful Hate Party
I don't think either party has any idea what's headed their way. their business is to remain mired in process. they call it deliberation, thoughtful, reasonable deliberation. trump doesn't know any of that. trump is not a process guy. to him, process is delay. process is obfuscation. process is incompetence. people engaging in process are a bunch of people masking the fact they don't know what they're doing, and he has no time for 'em and no patience.
Party Thoughtful Thinking
What's really going on here is, this is a media shift. it's comparable to what happened in the 1950s and the birth of electronic mass media back then.this is the birth of a new kind of personal media, where, instead of we're all watching one program, we're all watching each other. and the history of media makes it really clear. whenever we have a big innovation, the first wave of stuff we do is pretty crummy. the printing press gave us pornography, cheap thrillers, and how-to books. television gave us newt minow's vast wasteland.
Book Media Innovation
People tend to assess the relative importance of issues by the ease with which they are retrieved from memory—and this is largely determined by the extent of coverage in the media. frequently mentioned topics populate the mind even as others slip away from awareness. in turn, what the media choose to report corresponds to their view of what is currently on the public’s mind. it is no accident that authoritarian regimes exert substantial pressure on independent media. because public interest is most easily aroused by dramatic events and by celebrities, media feeding frenzies are common
Memories Independent Views
Trump has his own audience, which is in many cases as big as or bigger than the media covering him. he doesn't need the media. he enjoys them being around. he likes toying with them. he likes being provocative around them. to him, the media is a plaything. to the republican and democrat establishments, the media holds coequal position in the entire power structure of the ruling class.
