"A
popular Government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a
Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance,
and a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power
knowledge gives." [James Madison, Founding Father]

"News is what someone wants to suppress.
Everything else is advertising." -- former NBC news president Rubin Frank"Our

Richard Salant, former President of CBS News
-
"The People cannot be safe without

Thomas Jefferson
-

M. Cohen, former Senior Producer of CBS political news
-
"An independent press does not exist in
America except perhaps in small country towns; journalists know it and I know it; not one
of them dares to express a sincere opinion; if they do so, they know beforehand that it
will never be printed. I am paid 150 dollars monthly in order that I should not put my
ideas in the newspaper for which I write and that I should keep them to myself. Others are
paid similar salaries for a similar service. If I succeeded in having my opinions
published in a single issue of my newspaper, I should lose my post in twenty-four hours.
The man who would be insane enough to give frank expression to his thoughts would soon
find himself in the streets on the look-out for another occupation. It is the duty of New
York journalists to lie, to threaten, to bow down to the feet of Mammon, and to sell their
country and their race for their salary, that is to say, for their daily bread ... We are
the tools and the vassals of the rich who keep in the background; we are puppets; they
pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talent, our life, our abilities, all are the
property of these men. We are intellectual prostitutes." -- John Swinton, former
chief of staff for the New York Times, when asked in 1953 to give a simple toast before
the New York Press Club, stunned a roomful of admiring peers into total silence with the
preceding remarks (as reported in the January, 1993 issue of The National Educator, and
also quoted in the book "Pure Sociology" by Professor Lester T. Ward)
