“Liberty lives in protest and democracy prospers under conditions of change. When we travel about the world and come to a country whose newspapers are filled with bad news we feel that liberty lives in that land. When we come to a country whose newspapers are filled with good news, we feel differently.” WorldFeelsCountryLibertyDemocracyLandConditionsNewsFilledNewspapersProtestGood NewsBad News Author:Daniel Patrick Moynihan
“The work of democratic government is routinely concerned with matters defined as troubles. In "The Presidency and the Press" I make the point, familiar to anyone who has flown about the world much, that the best quick test of the political nature of a regime is to read the local papers on arrival. If they are filled with bad news, you have landed in a libertarian society of some sort. If, on the other hand, the press is filled with good news, it is a fair bet that the jails will be filled with good men.” IfsMenWorldMatterHandsGovernmentPoliticalTroublePaperNewsConcernedFairsTestsFilledPressesDemocraticLibertarianLocalsFamiliarDefinedGood ManJailRegimesPresidencyGood NewsPapersBad NewsArrivalsDemocratic Government Author:Daniel Patrick Moynihan
