Famous quotes containing the words community and/or television:
“Agitators are a set of interfering, meddling people, who come down to some perfectly contented class of the community and sow the seeds of discontent amongst them. That is the reason why agitators are so absolutely necessary. Without them, in our incomplete state, there would be no advance towards civilisation.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“... there is no reason to confuse television news with journalism.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
