«The press today is an army with carefully organized weapons, the journalists its officers, the readers its soldiers. But, as in every army, the soldier obeys blindly, and the war aims and operating plans change without his knowledge.

Now people want to think only what they are supposed to want to think, and this they consider freedom.»
