古今中外看新闻、骂新闻之声不绝於耳。有人说,脑袋让骡子踢坏了的人才会相信星期日报纸上说的东西("He had been kicked in the head by a mule when young, and believed everything he read in the Sunday p九九藏书apers")。有人说,报纸永远分辨不出脚踏车相撞和文明大崩溃的不同之处("A device unable to discriminate between a bicycle accident and the collapse of civilization"),有人说,美国星期天报纸的重量太可爱,光是俯身从地上搬起这堆报纸对身段体态就大有好处了("I love the weight of American Sunday newspapers. Pulling them up off the floor is good for the figure")。美国一位篮球教练要队员静默五秒钟,说这样新闻媒体才能做一次完全正确的引述。
