“I don't accept at all the quite popular argument that the press is responsible for the monarchy's recent troubles. The monarchy's responsible for the monarchy's recent troubles.

“Now musing o'er the changing scene Farmers behind the tavern screen Collect; with elbows idly press'd On hob, reclines the corner's guest, Reading the news to mark again The bankrupt lists or price of grain. Puffing the while his red-tipt pipe He dreams o'er troubles nearly ripe, Yet, winter's leisure to regale, Hopes better times, and sips his ale.” DreamReadingBehindsTroubleSceneNewsRedMarkPressesWinterCornersScreensListsFarmersGuestsLeisureGrainPipeRipeElbowsMusingsInnsAleTaverns Author:John Clare
“The trouble is that privacy is at once essential to, and in tension with, both freedom and security. A cabinet minister who keeps his mistress in satin sheets at the French taxpayer's expense cannot justly object when the press exposes his misuse of public funds. Our freedom to scrutinise the conduct of public figures trumps that minister's claim to privacy. The question is: where and how do we draw the line between a genuine public interest and that which is merely what interests the public?” InterestLinesTroubleSecurityFiguresObjectsTrumpEssentialsDrawsClaimsPressesGenuineMinistersTensionPrivacyFundExpensesSheetsMistressTaxpayersCabinetsMisusePublic InterestPublic FiguresSatin Author:Timothy Garton Ash

“Criminal cases receive the attention of the press. The cruel and disagreeable things of life are more apt to get the newspaper space than the pleasant ones. It must be that most people enjoy hearing of and reading about the troubles of others. Perhaps men unconsciously feel that they rise in the general level as others go down.” PeopleMenFeelsReadingEnjoySpaceLevelsAttentionCasesTroublePressesHearingCriminalsNewspapersPleasantDisagreeable Book:The Story of My Life Source: The Story of My Life
“Sometimes we ask ourselves 'Why?' Why do I continue to smile, to give, to live? Why do I continue to stand, despite the ferocity of the wind that keeps blowing, that keeps slapping against my face, creating a pressure that says 'fall'? Why I don't I listen to those who call me a fool because I continue to love despite my hurt? I don't know what tomorrow brings; I don't know if my troubles will seize or if my sorrows will continue. But this much I do know - I will continue to hold out, I will continue to press on, until my blessing comes.” IfsKnowsGivingSometimesMotivationalFacesFallAsksHurtTroubleWindFoolTomorrowSorrowBlessingCreatingPressurePressesDespiteCall MeMy BlessingFerocitySlappingTomorrow Brings Author:Shane Smith

“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
