Whose Side Are You On - Melbourne Press Club

Whose Side Are You On, Tom?

“Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.”
Thomas Jefferson

“The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is clearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Our citizens may be deceived for a while, and have been deceived; but as long as the presses can be protected, we may trust them for light.”
Thomas Jefferson

“I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it.”
Thomas Jefferson
