“The world was quickly forgetting us. And there was little news to report.”

“Sometimes you want to fall on your knees and thank God in heaven for all the poor news reporting that goes on in the world.”

“But being dependent, every day of the year and for year after year, upon certain politicians for news, the newspaper reporters are obliged to work in harmony with their news sources.”

“A newspaper is not just for reporting the news as it is, but to make people mad enough to do something about it.”

“David Lawrence, founder of US News & World Report, warned, "Confiscation of wealth may satisfy the vengeful in us. It may sooth a retaliatory spirit. But it is the path of national suicide...There must always be the reward motive. To many people it is but another way to set goals of human ambition...When government kills the opportunity to earn, it sounds the death knell of the opportunity to serve.”

“I came only to report the news, to gather information. I didn't come to find out the truth.”
