Their constant yelping about a free press means, with a few honorable exceptions, freedom to peddle scandal, crime, sex, sensation...alism, hate, innuendo and the political and financial uses of propaganda. A newspaper is a business out to make money through advertising revenue. That is predicated on the circulation and you know what circulation depends on.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

We hear about constitutional rights, free speech and the free press. Every time I hear those words I say to myself, "That man is a... Red, that man is a Communist." You never heard a real American talk in that manner.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
What is it that distinguishes man from animals? It is not his upright posture. That was present in the apes long before the brain ...began to develop. Nor is it the use of tools. It is something altogether new, a previously unknown quality: self-awareness. Animals, too, have awareness. They are aware of objects; they know this is one thing and that another. But when the human being as such was born he had a new and different consciousness, a consciousness of himself; he knew that he existed and that he was something different, something apart from nature, apart from other people, too.

That is the specific quality that makes human beings human.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Although leadership and the exercise of power are distinguishable activities, they overlap and interweave in important ways. Consi...der a corporate chief executive officer who has the gift for inspiring and motivating people, who has vision, who lifts the spirits of employees with a resulting rise in productivity and quality of product, and a drop in turnover and absenteeism. That is leadership. But evidence emerges that the company is falling behind in the technology race. One day with the stroke of a pen the CEO increases the funds available to the research division. That is the exercise of power. The stroke of a pen could have been made by an executive with none of the qualities one associates with leadership.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
