In The Media
In science fiction and works of fantasy, speciesism takes on a role similar to racism, discriminating against other sentients based on a sense of superiority. It varies from human beings regarding themselves as superior to nonhumans, nonhumans being superior to humans, or certain nonhumans being superior to other nonhumans. This can take place on a terrestrial, extraterrestrial, extragalactic, or extradimensional plane.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
