Quote by Newt Gingrich
If Thomas Edison invented electric light today, Dan Rather would report it on CBS News as, Candle making industry threatened.
Summary
This quote humorously suggests that modern media tends to sensationalize and misinterpret information. It implies that if a groundbreaking invention like the electric lightbulb were introduced today, the media, represented by Dan Rather of CBS News, would likely focus on the negative aspects or potential threats to existing industries rather than highlighting the innovation itself. The quote reflects a criticism of media bias and sensationalism in reporting.
