Determining the News


“A handful of us determine what will be on the evening news broadcasts… And those [news stories] available to us already have been culled and re-culled by persons far outside our control.”  -Walter Cronkite
 

No Questions


“If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none.”  -Ray Bradbury, 1953, from “Fahrenheit 451”
 

Using the News to Deceive

 
 "With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power... They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution."  -Vice President Henry A. Wallace, 1944
