*---- Quotes For The Week ----*
Be wary of the man who urges an action in which he himself incurs no risk.
--Seneca

There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with.
--John Swinton, 19th Century NY Times journalist Labor's Untold Story, by Richard O. Boyer & Herbert M. Morais, published by United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers of America, NY, 1955/1979.

Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone.
--John Swinton, 19th Century NY Times journalist

*---- More Quotes for the Week ----*
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, 19th Century NY Times journalist

There must always remain something that is antagonistic to good.
--Plato
