That is why judges and juries who try to enforce such laws make themselves ridiculous.~ Jay Fox Printers are educated in the Belief, that when Men differ in Opinion, both sides ought equally to have the Advantage of being heard by the Public; and that when Truth and Error have fair Play, the former is always an overmatch for the latter: Hence [printers] cheerfully serve all contending Writers that pay them well, without regarding on which side they are of the Question in Dispute.~ Benjamin Franklin No mighty king, no ambitious emperor, no pope, or prophet ever dreamt of such an awesome pulpit, so potent a magic wand [television].~ Fred W. Friendly The people in the MSM (mainstream media) don't think of themselves as liberal. They're just in favor of collectivism and against individualism in general -- without using many labels (or much thought) of any kind. They go out of their way only to mention a minority group if they can. Groupism is what they believe in.~ Rick Gaber Under the privilege of the First Amendment many, many ridiculous things are said.~ John Kenneth Galbraith [W]hat suffers in the atmosphere of immediacy is analysis.

It is not to be disputed, that the publisher of a newspaper in this country, without a very exhaustive advertising support, would receive less reward for his labor than the humblest mechanic.~ Alexander Hamilton The most fluent talkers or the most plausible reasoners are not always the justest thinkers.~ William Hazlitt Marihuana influences Negroes to look at white people in the eye, step on white men's shadows and look at a white woman twice.~ Hearst newspapers nationwide Limiting the freedom of news ‘just a little bit’ is in the same category within the classic example ‘a little bit pregnant.’~ Robert A. Heinlein [T]here seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously—after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important ... so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be ignorant and subliterate every time he opens his mouth.~ Robert A. Heinlein To limit the press is to insult a nation; to prohibit reading of certain books is to declare the inhabitants to be either fools or knaves.~ Claude-Adrien Helvetius It is a sad reminder that many in the media are not interested in journalism but progressive advocacy.~ Mollie Hemingway The sooner we all learn to make a decision between disapproval and censorship, the better off society will be... Censorship cannot get at the real evil, and it is an evil in itself.~ Granville Hicks In the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.~ Adolf Hitler Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
