"People who read the tabloids deserve to be lied to."
— Jerry Seinfeld
People Who Read The Tabloids Deserve
People who read the tabloids deserve to be lied to.
About this quote
From SeinLanguage (1993). The line is a typically blunt Seinfeld provocation: tabloid readers are complicit in the tabloids' dishonesty because their appetite for salacious, unverified stories creates the market for it. It sits alongside his broader commentary on the media and mass culture, where he argues that consumers bear responsibility for what they consume.
