Evening Nina,
Who said this? I don't know who the "Dean of Journalism" is.
After all, this was back in 1953. Can anyone offer any proof that things
have changed one bit since that date?
Likely things are worse today.
OK.... here is the information you requested. His name is ( was ) John
Swinton, former Chief of Staff of the New York Times. This is a CLASSICAL
document. It should be nicely formatted, printed, framed, and hung on the
wall in offices around the county. Possibly I used the wrong term. Note
below he was called "The Dean of his Profession" by his
peers. In this case, "profession" means the same as "journalist".
Please forgive me for the small error. This is only a small part of the
complete document. If you want the complete document, I will email it to you.
MEDIA BLACKS OUT THE FACTS"BUT SURELY, IF THIS WORLD CONSPIRACY WERE TRUE I
WOULD HAVE HEARD ABOUT IT IN THE DAILY NEWS!"
As in all investigations, it always comes down to, "How can we prove our
case?" We personally feel it's hard to top the proof coming from the mouths
of the very ones involved in this treacherous unAmerican program. Here's
one terrific example. John Swinton, the former Chief of Staff for the New
York Times, was one of America's best loved newspapermen. Called by his
peers "The Dean of his Profession", John was asked in 1953 to give a toast
before the New York Press Club, and in so doing made a monumentally
important and revealing statement. He is quoted as follows:
"There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America as
an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you
who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know
beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for
keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with.
Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you
who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the
streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear
in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone.
The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth; to lie outright;
to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his
country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it and
what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and
vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping jacks, they pull the
strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all
the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."
Hard to believe? If there is any doubt -- read on.
RICHARD M. COHAN, Senior Producer of CBS political news said: "We are going
to impose OUR AGENDA on the coverage by dealing with the issues and
subjects WE choose to deal with."
RICHARD SALANT, former President of CBS News stated: "Our job is to give
people not what they want, but what WE decide they ought to have."
And what is their "agenda"? What do they believe we, the American people
THE COMMON HERD, "...ought to have"? Here is the answer:
