Is there a quote about diversity in media?
Yes — one quote asks a simple question, wondering "why not the media?" in the context of diversity being found throughout nature. It's a brief, thought-provoking line rather than a detailed argument.
Do any of these quotes make accusations against public figures?

One quote's own claim is that Bloomberg's money and media access are "a serious danger to American liberty," and calls for taking him "head on." Another quote accuses Obama, Bloomberg, and what it calls the "national gun-ban media" of exploiting tragedy, asserting they use "fear and lies" to sell their agenda to non-gun owners around election season. These are reported here strictly as the quotes' own political opinions and accusations, not as facts we're endorsing or disputing either way.
