The Illegitimate Fourth Estate



"To a philosopher all news, as it is called, is gossip, and they who edit and read it are old women over their tea...By closing the eyes and slumbering, and consenting to be deceived by shows, men establish and confirm their daily life of routine and habit everywhere, which still is built on illusory foundations."

Henry David Thoreau
American Dervish
