Is an independent press essential to capitalistic democracy?

Freedom of the press


is guaranteed only to those who own one


 


A J Liebling


Why is journalism the only profession


explicitly protected by the US Constitution?


Not to transmit an experience


is to betray it


 


Elie Wiesel


Can some believe what isn't


or refuse to believe what is?


Are you certain


you’ve not been conditioned to think certain thoughts?


 


Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy


 it dseno’t mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are


 the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae


 


The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm


 


Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef


 but the wrod as a wlohe


Is what you think others think


what they may be thinking


or what they and/or some others want you to think they’re thinking?
