“The Jew continues to monopolize money, and he loosens or strangles the throat of the state with the loosening or strengthening of his purse strings...He has empowered himself with the engines of the press, which he uses to batter at the foundations of society. He is at the bottom of...every enterprise that will demolish first of all thrones, afterwards the altar, afterwards civil law.” FirstsStatesUseLawFoundationPressesBottomJewEnterpriseStringsThroatEnginesThronesEmpoweredAltarsPursesStrengtheningDemolish Author:Franz Liszt

“From the standpoint of freedom of speech and the press, it is enough to point out that the state has no legitimate interest in protecting any or all religions from views distasteful to them...

“During the last dozen years the tales of suppression of free assemblage, free press, and free speech, by local authorities or the State operating under martial law have been so numerous as to have become an old story.

“A free press is one where it's okay to state the conclusion you're led to by the evidence. One reason I'm in hot water is because my colleagues and I at NOW didn't play by the conventional rules of Beltway journalism. Those rules divide the world into Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, and allow journalists to pretend they have done their job if instead of reporting the truth behind the news, they merely give each side an opportunity to spin the news.” IfsWorldGivingStatesReasonDonePlayJobsOpportunitySidesWaterBehindsRepublicanTruth IsNewsEvidenceOkayHotPressesDemocratConclusionJournalismJournalistDividesConventionalColleaguesFree PressHot Water Author:Bill Moyers

“Who should regulate the media? Who should control the press? The commentariat agonises, as if the choice was between state control through some autocratic press law or a new Press Complaints Commission redecorated with false teeth. But there is another way. Let journalists regulate themselves.... Let's have a little democracy in the media. Even in the Murdoch papers, the number of journalists who are irretrievably lawless and callous is quite small.

“When the press writes scare stories about the global labor supply draining jobs from rich to poor places, the story is usually presented as a "race to the bottom" simply in terms of wages. Capitalism supposedly looks for labor wherever labor is cheapest. This story is half wrong. A kind of cultural selection is also at work, so that jobs leave high-wage countries like the United States and Germany, but migrate to low-wage economies with skilled, sometimes overqualified workers.” WritingLooksKindCountrySometimesStatesStoriesJobsTermPoorUnitedRaceHalfUnited StatesEconomyRichLowsCapitalismLaborPressesWorkersBottomGermanyScareWagesSelectionDrainingMigrateOverqualified Book:The Culture of the New Capitalism Source: The Culture of the New Capitalism
