Críticas:

-If the press insists that we have to face the reality of our democratic leadership, warts and all... we also have to face the reality of a passive democratic electorate in a media system geared to covering the dark side of major candidates.- --Michael Jay Robinson -Ultimately all journalism is patriotism. If reporters can be said to share a religion, it is devotion to making democracy work.- --William A. Henry III -Feeling badly used... much of the Washington press developed an obsession with official dishonesty. Exposure became a sacred mission.- --Elie Abel
