"The press is so powerful in its image-making role, it can make a
criminal look like he's the victim and make the victim look like he's
the criminal. This is the press, an irresponsible press. If you aren't
careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being
oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X, Audubon Ballroom, December 13, 1964
