The power of the proverb

 The power of the periodical press is second only to that of the people.
  Alexis de Tocqueville

 The power of the periodical press is second only to that of the people.
  Alexis de Tocqueville

 I love how one man in the press stood up and said, 'Wait a minute, there is something very wrong here,' ... Especially in the last several years, the press has not done that or not been allowed to do that -- take your pick. We don't have McCarthyism today, but history is repeating itself. . . . Money is everything, there is an arrogance of power, people speak up and are demoted. It's a wonderful time for this movie to come out.

 A cantankerous press, an obstinate press, a ubiquitous press, must be suffered by those in authority in order to preserve the right of the people to know.

 "You ever walk behind someone walking so slow slow you have to hold yourself back from stabbing them? '...You better move it along, huh. My walker has wheels for a reason." You ever walk next to that stranger who wants to walk the same speed as you? '...Get the fuck away from me... what are we--on a date here? I don't even know you.' Sometimes I find myself being a weirdo... you ever been walking next to some stranger and for no reason at all you decide that if you beat them to the corner, you'll be a millionaire? They're like, 'whatever'. HAHA! I get to press the walk button for you! ... You think those walk buttons do anything? I think some guy at the government was like, 'What can we give the morons to press? How bout a button!?' You always press 'em, you're like, '...maybe I didn't press it hard enough...' Then someone will come up and be like, 'Did you press it?' --'Yeah, I pressed it.' They're like, 'Why don't you press it again?'--'You're like, 'Yeah I'll press it again.' Then at that point it changes and you're like, 'I did that. I changed the traffic in the city... I have a lot of power.' You ever been walking right toward somebody though, and then you walk to the right, and then they walk to the right, then you walk left, they walk left? You know how there's like that awkward moment? ...Just lean forward and kiss 'em. '....looked like you wanted it from my angle.' Then when they're walking away just hit 'em on the ass. (Pshhh) 'You'll be back! You'll be back for some of that loving.''

 Some of the press who speak loudly about the freedom of the press are themselves the enemies of freedom. Countless people dare not say a thing because they know it will be picked up and made a song of by the press. That limits freedom.

 It's clear that there is a highly corrupt relationship between some journalists and those in positions of power, ... This indictment shows the corrupt nature of the press system and its linkage to power.

 Numerous politicians have seized absolute power and muzzled the press. Never in history has the press seized absolute power and muzzled the politicians.
  David Brinkley

 We think so much of what he did was intertwined. He realized the power of writing and using the press to spread ideas, and some had to do with civic responsibility or science. The last section deals with his abiding sense that people do something good for other people. This brings in his work in creating the Pennsylvania Hospital, the University of Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia Fire Department, the postal service.

 There are always some legal systems that are developed, some that are not developed. Some are tied with the press, some are not. Some regimes have control, some don't. Different people live in different frame of references. When you are freeing these authoritarian press systems and trying to educate the libertarian press systems about the sensitivities of other cultures, you are bound to run into problems.

 Use power to help people. For we are given power not to advance our own purposes nor to make a great show in the world, nor a name. There is but one just use of power and it is to serve people.
  George Bush

 If more people in government knew about the press and more people in the press knew about governing, the world would be a better place to live. Journalists would perform their craft better if they were more understanding of the realities and complexities of running for and serving in public life.
  Karl Rove
