Every American needs to hear this!

'There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press.  You know it and I know it.  

The business of the Journalist is to destroy 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 for 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.'
