Much is forgiven anyone who relieves the desperate boredom of the working press.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The very hirelings of the press, whose trade it is to buoy up the spirits of the people. have uttered falsehoods so long, they have played off so many tricks, that their budget seems, at last, to be quite empty.
I hate dealing with the press. But I think it is a necessary evil.
One thing I detest most about the financial press is the lack of accountability. All sorts of nonsense is said without penalty.
A free press needs to be a respected press.
We're all bloggers and punks and rebels with cameras. There is absolutely no respect for career journalists anymore.
I love the press; I even like the people that don't like me. If it wasn't for those people, no one would know who I was and I wouldn't have a gig.
The press is the hired agent of a monied system, and set up for no other purpose than to tell lies where their interests are involved. One can trust nobody and nothing.
The press these days should be rather careful about its role. We may have acquired some tendencies about over-involvement that we had better overcome.
I don't appreciate, really, talking to journalists when there's a sense of wanting to kick up dust to sell more papers or get more hits on their Internet site.
No writer for the press, however humble, is free from the burden of keeping his purpose high and his integrity white.
