Media coverage both shapes and reflects public opinion. The press coverage in the run-up to the war was very pro-war and the country was very pro-war.

One cannot wage war under present conditions without the support of public opinion, which is tremendously molded by the press and other forms of propaganda.

Wal-Mart has already lost the battle in the court of public opinion; now Wal-Mart has lost the battle in a court of law as well.

For me every ruler is alien that defies public opinion.

After so long when the polls were deadlocked no matter what happened, now we have a situation where voter opinion is unsettled. There's a lot of uncertainty and you're going to have more variation in the polls than we've had in the past.

It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion.
