I think many articles in the New Yorker have a strong point of view, but they are so rigorously fact-checked. I wouldn't call them objective, but they feel fair.

More quotes by Alex Gibney
Jobs would have ever have asserted that Bill Gates was not serious about technology. He was a huge pioneer in that world, albeit doing something quite different in approach from what Steve did. He was dismissive of Gates' foundation work as something he did to make himself feel better.
Alex Gibney
Long ago I had a professor who told me, 'Embrace the contradictions.' I think that is what is most interesting about people like Jobs.
Alex Gibney
The internet connects us all and provides this fabulous fact-checking mechanism, and yet at the same time, the power of lies is conveyed much more efficiently now because they're accepted so fast.
Alex Gibney
The sex abuse crisis in the Catholic Church is the result of what police call noble cause corruption, the belief that because you are dedicated to doing good, you can do no wrong.
Alex Gibney
What a terrible world it would be if we only did films that were poster boards for political causes.
Alex Gibney
The stuff about film being a collaborative medium is no joke.
Alex Gibney
I feel that Julian Assange came to be both paranoid and self-regarding in ways that ultimately undermined his own mission.
Alex Gibney
With every project I start out on, there's no footage. It's always a big slog to find the footage.

I'm still an Apple person, but let's just say the magic aura is gone. In a way that was a sad thing to lose, but I feel better for it. It's just a machine now, not linked with any greater mission or mystique.
Alex Gibney
One of the things about Steve Jobs is that he gives us an opportunity to look at the disjuncture between that world and the world he claimed that Apple represented, the Think different world of Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks and Gandhi.
Alex Gibney
The Church must be all-powerful. You discover these horrors within institutions because predators find ways of hiding in plain sight.
Alex Gibney
I come from a filmmaking tradition and a storytelling background. So somehow I've emerged like a mutant who can straddle both worlds.
Alex Gibney
It's easy to get armchair analysts to talk, but to get people on the inside to talk is very, very hard.
Alex Gibney
As the power of governments wanes, corporations become ever more powerful. Sometimes they do things that aren't so good. We should pay attention. Steve Jobs was saying, Don't pay attention to all that stuff. Pay attention to the product you've got in your hand.
Alex Gibney
Jobs' incredible skill was as a storyteller, a salesman. He could captivate our imaginations and reel us in. He was more P.T. Barnum than Thomas Edison.
Alex Gibney
In a busy world, even as information is moving so rapidly, we have to learn who to trust in that regard even as we ourselves have to become more critical of the people who we want to trust. It's a weird situation.
Alex Gibney
Bill Gates, who is the classic computer nerd, as opposed to Steve who is, like the coolest guy in the world. And who is really doing things to make the world a better place?
Alex Gibney
The Barack Obama Administration has prosecuted more whistleblowers than all previous administrations combined. That's a staggering record. And it comes from a president who said that he's going to have one of the most transparent administrations ever.
Alex Gibney
I don't think Steve [Jobs] started Apple as a scam. But he understood early on the power of marketing. The idea of the computer as a bicycle for the human mind - I think that was something he believed.
Alex Gibney
In many ways, I'm a big admirer still of Julian Assange. He had balls to do what he did and his motivations in terms of holding the powerful to account are tremendously inspiring to me.
