Prostitution of the Press
It is with sadness that I am writing this due to imbalanced and one sided Media propagandists in American history. I felt like the News Reports; be it on Prints, Screens, or Internet- mostly for the advantage and advancement of the leftwings, and liberals or an Anti- Trump Prime Time Show, and not to serve as a News Outlet.
Partisan, dishonest, propagandists of the Marxists and Democratic Party is how I could analyze the current culture of the USA's Mainstream Media.
"Prostitution of the Press" The Salt Lake Herald abstracts from "The Press of the World" some of the "rules of conduct " which Benjamin Franklin followed in his first journalistic venture. "They are so perfectly applicable to present-day newspapers," it says, "that they are worth preserving and emphasizing." He had just begun the publication of his Pennsylvania Gazette when an article was submitted to him that did not meet his views of propriety. With his customary deliberation he did not at once reject it, but told the writer he would sleep over it and give his decision the next day. This is how he applied his rules to the subject:
"I have perused your piece," he wrote, "and find it to be scurrilous and defamatory To determine whether I should publish it or not, I went home in the evening, purchased a two-penny loaf at the baker's, and, with water from the pump, made my supper; I then wrapt myself up in my great coat, and laid down on the floor and slept till morning, when on another loaf and a mug of water, I made my breakfast. From this regimen I feel no inconvenience whatever. Finding I can live in this manner, I have formed the determination never to prostitute my press to corruption and abuse of this kind for the sake of gaining a more comfortable subsistence." (Cyclopedia of Illustrations for Public Speakers).
Is this not what we have in the Press right now? Some of the Cable News and Newspapers are the Propagandists of the Left and the Marxists. We are living in a world where the News we hear is just the Script that the one sided Producer or Newscaster or Cable Network have previously prepared…
Who will trust the USA's Press?
