Trying to determine what
is going on in the world by reading newspapers is like trying
to tell the time by watching the second hand of a clock. - Ben
Hecht
The function of a newspaper
in a democracy is to stand as a sort of chronic opposition to
the reigning quacks. The minute it begins to out-whoop them it
forfeits its character and becomes ridiculous. - H.L. Mencken
A newspaper consists of
just the same number of words whether there be any news in it
or not. -- Henry Fielding
A newspaper is not for
just reporting the news as it is, but to make people mad enough
to do something about it -- Mark Twain
If you don't read the newspaper,
you're uninformed. If you do read the newspaper, you're misinformed.
- Ascribed to Mark Twain
