"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 “The liberty of the press is essential to the security of the state.” - John Adams

Gentle reminder: The "press" is also referred to as The Fourth Estate . . . a term that has passed from common use . . . In essence, it is considered to serve just as critical a function in our representative democracy as our three branches of government. Viva la free press !
