One Guy's Viewpoint

Is Ours a Free Press?

"Paramount among the responsibilities of a free press is the duty to prevent any part of the government from deceiving the people and sending them off to distant lands to die of foreign fevers and foreign shot and shell."

- Hugo Black, American jurist and politician, 1886-1971 (As quoted by Christopher Bollyn, 08/25/10.)

Well, when you put it that way. nope.


"The press is the hired agent of a monied system, and set up for no other purpose than to tell lies where their interests are involved. One can trust nobody and nothing."

- Henry B. Adams (1838-1918), President of the American Historical Association (Ditto.)
