John Rich: The Press Puts Us In A “Unhealthy Hamster Wheel”

On Fox Across America with Jimmy Failla, John Rich, country music star and host of “The Pursuit with John Rich” on Fox Business, spoke about why social media and the press have done damage to society and why being authentic now makes people trendsetters.

“Being authentically yourself is something that’s really frowned upon. They go, what is this guy doing, or why did they say that? Or Why do they dress like this or make that kind of music or whatever they’re doing? But those are the people, the ones that are really authentic that wind up setting new trends. They wind up being respected. They have integrity. Everybody doesn’t have to like what you’re doing. You have to like what you’re doing and to play in this stupid game that social media and the press puts us in the hamster wheel, it’s unhealthy and it’s actually a farce. It’s not reality. And at the end of the day, you’re not going to be proud of yourself or of your life if you don’t ever step out there and go for something bigger than yourself.”
