“I will add, that the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods & errors. He who reads nothing will still learn the great facts, and the details are all false.”

He could have had the New York Times and most of the rest of the major news outlets in mind which are sold out to the Libs today.

The occupying statist theocracy infesting this land has its government schools and its media to proselyte in and from. Jefferson here sheds light on an historically reoccurring event.

Just substitute 'newspaper' with 'broadcast news' or 'mainstream media' and the quote is even more relevant today.

Historically, lamentably, it has not normatively been the noblest among us who have aspired to become journalists.

What goes around comes around . Common Sense makes it back to the table. "As in a circle".

I think Thomas Jefferson's insights are awesome. Happy he is being brought to our times!

Nothing has changed in over two hundred years..
