P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
carefully, lest he should do some damage to himself or others. When we left Havana for New Orleans, on board the steamer “Falcon,” Mr. James Gordon Bennett, editor of the _New York Herald_, and his wife were also passengers. After permitting one favorable notice in his paper, Bennett had turned around, as usual, and had abused Jenny Lind and bitterly attacked me. There was an estrangement, no new thing, between the editor and myself. The _Herald_, in its desire to excite attention, has a habit of attacking public men and I had not escaped. I was always glad to get such notices, for they served as inexpensive advertisements to my Museum, and brought custom to me free of charge.

白话
巴纳姆和编辑贝内特同船，贝内特先在报上给了一次好评，转头又照常骂林德、攻击巴纳姆。两人早有隔阂。巴纳姆说《先驱报》为博眼球常攻击公众人物，他自己也常被骂，但他反而高兴：这些骂声等于免费广告，给博物馆带来客人，不花一分钱。核心是：负面报道未必是坏事，关键看你怎么用。做法是别被情绪牵着走，把攻击当成曝光机会，同时把产品和服务做好，让来看热闹的人变成顾客。
上下文
巴纳姆经营博物馆和巡回演出，常与媒体打交道；贝内特是《纽约先驱报》老板，以炒作和攻击名人著称。
