----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith Addison" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> We rely on the 4th Estate (of which I'm a lifelong member) to do that for us, that's their role and essential function, but (though the exceptions are many and honorable) there's no need for me to say how derelict they've become in this duty, especially over the last few decades. It's always been a "kept" press, of course, owned by the very interests it's supposed to protect society against. ---end---
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, the Chief of Staff for the New York Times, 1953 _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/
