Quote by Newt Gingrich
I think the destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country, harder to attract decent people to run for public office.
Summary
This quote suggests that the detrimental and critical nature of the news media creates challenges in governing the country and discourages competent individuals from seeking public office. The constant focus on negativity and destruction in news coverage hinders effective governance by potentially overshadowing positive developments, and contributes to an atmosphere that may deter capable individuals from pursuing political leadership due to fear of scrutiny and character assassination by the media.
