Announce that you will publish letters from anybody, regardless of grammar, sentiment, or position, with the only limitation of decency and personality. Advocate persistently cheap and honest public service. Let one of your mottoes be: "A penny a letter and a penny a mile," that is, the conviction that a letter ought to be sent anywhere in the United States for a penny, and that a man ought to be able to travel all over the country at the rate of a penny a mile. Have such mottoes as: "All the People Well Off," "Equal Rights for Everybody," "No Nepotism, no Partiality, no * Pulls.' " -from One Thousand Ways to Make Money by Page Fox (copyright 1900)

The only remedy for this state is either a leader of intrepid courage or the awakening of the people themselves and their demanding reforms by public mandate. - from An Anglo-American Alliance: A Serio-Comic Romance and Forecast of the Future by Gregory Casparian (1906)
4/11/2018 0 Comments Quote #18There are Pentagon contracts with news organizations in terms of how to manipulate the news. There are Pentagon officials involved in press released that go to the media, in which Intelligence is used to manipulate public opinion, which is a violation of the charter of any Intelligence organization. Then you have retired Generals who serve as press spokesman for all the networks. It's never revealed which military industrial firms they work for. - Professor Melvin Goodman, former CIA analyst, from the documentary film, "The War You Don't See" (2010)
4/5/2018 0 Comments Quote #17If we journalists, including myself, had right from the get-go, from the opening pop, had started asking the kind of tough, digging, aggressive questions we should have been asking and doing our reporting, rather than just being kind of stenographers: go to a briefing, have an official say something, print it in the paper next day. If we had done our job, I do think a strong argument can be made that, perhaps, we would not have gone to war. - Dan Rather, CBS news anchor 1981-2005, from the documentary film, "The War You Don't See" (2010)
4/5/2018 0 Comments Quote #16Our 1st Sargent was escorted inside of the perimeter of the R. N. C. to openly meet with members of John McCain's Campaign. They refused, I repeat, they refused to send somebody out and accept our letter from us. This is a demonstration once again of the fact that, while John McCain is a vet, is a P. O. W., he is M. I .A. when it comes to standing up for veteran's issues and veteran's rights. I [ask?] Veterans Against the War will continue leveraging all means necessary to put pressure on the McCain campaign to ensure that our brothers and sisters in the military, in uniform, will be taken care of and will have their rights respected if John McCain is elected president in November. Thank you very much. - Kris Goldsmith, member of I. V. A. W. (Iraqi Veterans Against the War) on September 1, 2008
