Quote of the Day

Arthur Hays Sulzburger (1891-1968) was the publisher of the New York Times back in the mid twentieth century, so you might say he has a vested interest in the validity of this statement. That doesn't make it any less true:

"Obviously, a man's judgment cannot
be better than the information on which
he has based it. Give him the truth and
he may still go wrong when he has the
chance to be right, but give him no news
or present him only with distorted and
incomplete data, with ignorant, sloppy
or biased reporting, with propaganda
and deliberate falsehoods, and you
destroy his whole reasoning processes,
and make him something
less than a man."
