What the press do is they tell you lies, lies they already know
you want to hear. The press can figure out what its readers or viewers
believe, and make a hell of a living pandering to their egos and
telling them that they're smart. They lie and tell the audience they are
right, and they never have to change your mind about anything. And the
audience rewards them, lauding them and paying them money to keep
hearing those sweet, self-serving lies." -
Allan Uthman
"The
business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright,
to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his
country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it,
and what folly is this toasting an independent press?
We
are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the
jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our
possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are
intellectual prostitutes." - John Swinton (1829-1901),
head of the editorial staff of New York Times - at a press
banquet,1880, in response to a guest who offered a toast to the
independent press
"A people that wants to be free must arm itself with a free press." - George Seldes
