"news is what someone wants to suppress. everything else is advertising". former nbc news president rubin frank 




"this instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire. but it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. otherwise it is merely wires and lights in a box. there is a great and perhaps decisive battle to be fought against ignorance, intolerance and indifference." -- edward r. murrow 




asked to give a toast before the prestigious new york press club in 1880, john swinton, the former chief of staff at the new york sun, made this candid confession [it's worth noting that swinton was called "the dean of his profession" by other newsmen, who admired him greatly]: 




" there is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, as an independent press. you know it and i know it. there is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. i am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper i am connected with. others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. 




if i allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. the business of the journalist is to destroy the truth; to lie outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell the country 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 the 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.
