"I will add, that the man who never looks into a newspaper is better
informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is
nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods & errors.
He who reads nothing will still learn the great facts, and the details
are all false."
-- Thomas Jefferson
(1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of
Independence, 3rd US President

"To your request of my opinion of the manner in which a newspaper
should be conducted, so as to be most useful, I should answer, "by
restraining it to true facts & sound principles only." Yet I fear such
a paper would find few subscribers. It is a melancholy truth, that a
suppression of the press could not more compleatly deprive the nation
of it's benefits, than is done by it's abandoned prostitution to
falsehood."

"Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes
suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this
state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to
confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day. I really look
with commiseration over the great body of my fellow citizens, who, reading
newspapers, live & die in the belief, that they have known something of what
has been passing in the world in their time; whereas the accounts they have
read in newspapers are just as true a history of any other period of the world
as of the present, except that the real names of the day are affixed to their
fables."
