I don't know, I think the crowds are even more responsive now because the audiences are skewing younger. — James Young
It horribly skews the meaning of the cross when contemporary prophets of self-esteem say that the cross is a witness to my infinite worth.

In general President Obama's policies have been very, very skewed and very, very extreme.

While political leaders in both parties have long considered it untouchable, it actually helps those at the top of the income scale far more than those at the bottom. — Dee Dee Myers
My relationship to reality has been so utterly skewed for so long that I don't even notice it any more. It's just my reality. — Ethan Hawke

I grew up in a world where authority was female. I never thought to call myself a feminist because of branding. I had this skewed idea of feminist: I thought it meant being a woman who hates men.

So you go to Brookings, or you go to Heritage or others, they know their position on any subject before they research it. If you go to an investment bank, they know what parts of the world they are going to cover and what parts of the world they are not going to cover depending on client interest. We cover the world without being skewed by that. And that makes it more valuable. — George Friedman
So as soon as you want something to happen you begin skewing the data to support it. Our stuff is invaluable to decision-makers precisely because we have no ax to grind. — George Friedman

Comedy today is definitely skewed to the filthy side, but it's not as hard today as I am more mature as a comedian and a person. I'm a grown up now doing a kid's job.

Now I get to do shows of my choosing and a lot of folks attending the shows know my work and expect a clean show. — Henry Cho
For me it was just exciting to see fake news catching on like that. We don't you know, it's interesting. I think we don't make things up. We just distill it to, hopefully, its most humorous nugget. And in that sense it seems faked and skewed just because we don't have to be subjective or pretend to be objective. We can just put it out there. — Jon Stewart
Gay marriage within mainline denominations is gaining traction. Skewed pastors and even the government can't trump the Bible on this issue. Pastors: stand! — Steve Camp
The latest trade of a security creates a dangerous illusion that its market price approximates its true value. This mirage is especially dangerous during periods of market exuberance.
