->''"You spent $273 million on that "Saving America" bullshit, and I am running circles around you with five guys on laptops churning out memes. I practically pay them with Arby's gift cards. You... you can't win the whole country anymore. No-one can, so why are you even trying? You don't need fifty million people to love you; you need five million people fucking pissed. Emotion sells, anger sells. You have fans; I have soldiers."''

->''"Baldur's Mouth is truly remarkable. I had thought that the purpose of a broadsheet was to inform the people, but I see now that I was mistaken. Ink and paper are not as insidious as the voice of [[BigBad the Absolute]], but they send out their commands all the same: Think this, feel that, hate them [...] I would use the Mouth to [[DivideAndConquer ensure the people did not trust one another. Suspicion creates doubt, and doubt creates dependency.]] And they would know that they could depend on me. [[CultOfPersonality Feared, venerated, adored. I would be everything to them.]]"''

->[Sales and Marketing] is the most oily, devious division of [[EvilCorp Magadon]]. It's no less corrupt than any other - it just has to work a thousand times harder at ''hiding'' that corruption. And yet, [[TheCorrupter that same corruption has to directly affect anyone who deals with the whole company]], either directly, or through such intermediaries as [[StrawmanNewsMedia Omni Television or Vesuvius Publishing]]. Most of S&M's efforts are through no supernatural or biomedical trickery, but rather through good old-fashioned treachery and double-talk. Every single piece of publicity material that comes out of Sales and Marketing, be it a billboard design or a college recruiter's speech, is rigorously scrutinized by teams of top-notch spin doctors and propagandists to pack the maximum possible loading into words and graphics, all while maintaining total deniability. S&M's operation philosophy can best be summed up as "[[LoopholeAbuse if you don't actually]] ''[[LoopholeAbuse make]]'' [[LoopholeAbuse any promises, you can't be held accountable for breaking them]]." Vampires ''wish'' they were this good at manipulating the masses.

->''"There’s a ton of news right now, a lot is going on, and we have all these 24-hour news networks, and we could be covering everything. Instead, we’re covering three topics. Every hour is Trump, Russia, Hillary, and a panel full of people that remind you [[RacistGrandma why you don’t go home for Thanksgiving]]: 'Milk comes from nuts now all [[HeteronormativeCrusader because of the gays]]'."
