“In 1823 Thomas Jefferson put it succinctly: ‘The only security of all is in a free press.’ Alas, when you have a press that has become compliant to politicians, owned by corporations and staffed by people who only want to entertain and obey their corporate masters, the plan fails. The ‘free press’ is no longer a check on power. It has instead become part of the power apparatus itself. And this is dangerous.” -Dan Rather
