"Whoever controls the media, controls the peoples' minds." 
"There is no such thing in America as an independent press, unless it is 
in the country towns. You
know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to writes
(sic) his honest opinions, and if you did you know beforehand that it
would never appear in print. I
am paid one hundred and fifty dollars a week 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 his honest opinions would be out on the streets
looking for another job.The business of the New York journalist is
to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn
at the feet of Mammon, and to sell his race and his country for his
daily bread. You know this and I know it, and what folly is this to be 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, editor of the New York Tribune, 
in the 1880s, at a banquet of his fellow editorsGroup [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL
