An editorial cartoon by Harry Murphy 1917
Hey, freedom of the press. Everybody believes in that,
right?
Recent disturbing polls conducted by 60 Minutes, Vanity
Fair, American Press Institute, PBS-NPR indicate an alarmingly number of
Americans don’t think much of the First Amendment.
One recent poll (PBS NewsHour Marist ) found that 4 out of
10 Republicans assert that the U.S. “has
too greatly expanded freedom of the press”.
"Freedom of the press is not just important to democracy, it is democracy" --Walter Cronkite
