John Swinton,"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 write your honest opinions,and if you did,you know beforehand that it would never appear in print.
The business of 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.
We are the tools and vassals of rich men.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 prositutes."
If the power of the corporate elite was so great then,what must be it now when even the US Govt is cowered into submission by threatened bankruptcy and an all powerful Federal Reserve that seems intent on destroying the world economy with more cyber money?
My question is this;Can the WEB with the aid of sites like OLO educate the general population before real disaster strikes? Even back then John Swinton acknowledged the power of money but they cannot buy the multitude of sites we can now access on the WEB.
