Media Portrayal
He is portrayed in the HBO television series Deadwood as Eustace Bailey Farnum, owner of the Grand Central Hotel. His character is depicted as a bit of a buffoon with a conniving, greedy personality who is disliked by many of the town's residents. The character is shown as bullying his subordinates (particularly Richardson, his imbecilic cook) while toadying to those more powerful (initially Al Swearengen and later George Hearst); he is also given to long, self-pitying monologues. He is played by William Sanderson.

Famous quotes containing the words media and/or portrayal:
“The media no longer ask those who know something ... to share that knowledge with the public. Instead they ask those who know nothing to represent the ignorance of the public and, in so doing, to legitimate it.”
—Serge Daney (1944–1992)
“From the oyster to the eagle, from the swine to the tiger, all animals are to be found in men and each of them exists in some man, sometimes several at the time. Animals are nothing but the portrayal of our virtues and vices made manifest to our eyes, the visible reflections of our souls. God displays them to us to give us food for thought.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
