Note 43 — IV CORRUPTION IN THE PROFESSIONS, JOURNALISM, AND THE HIGHER EDUCATION

Quoted in Lester F. Ward’s “Pure Sociology,” p. 487. Professor Ward himself says: “The newspaper is simply an organ of deception. Every prominent newspaper is the defender of some interest and everything it says is directly or indirectly (and most effective when indirect) in support of that interest. There is no such thing at the present time as a newspaper that defends a principle.”
