Newspapers Get A Bad Rap, I Agree

The media is generally liberal.  Newspapers often leave things out.  They leave news out that is relevant.  Often times when a newspaper writes, it writes what it wants to and not what acually happened or what was actually said.  Is not a newspaper a "news" paper?   So.....write the news.  Below are just  three of many, many  quotes made against what newspapers have done (or not done).

"A newspaper has three things to do.
One is to amuse, another is to entertain
and the rest is to mislead."
Ernest Bevin            British Foreign Minister

"Journalism is popular, but it is popular mainly as fiction.
Life is one world, and life seen in the newspapers is another."
Gilbert Keith Chesterton           (1874-1936) British essayist, critic, poet, and novelist

"In the United States there is no phenomenon more threatening to
popular government than the unwillingness of newspapers to give the facts to their readers."
 Nelson Antrim Crawford         (1888-1963) American writer, editor, author
