This Constitution does not reflect the thoughts, hopes and aspirations of ordinary people. It does nothing for jobs or economic growth and widens further still the democratic deficit.

We're an ignorant nation right now. We're not really capable, I do not think, the majority of our people, of making the decisions that have to be made at election time and particularly in the selection of their legislatures and their Congress and the presidency, of course. I don't think we're bright enough to do the job that would preserve our democracy, our republic. I think we're in serious danger.
Not only do we have a right to know, we have a duty to know what our Government is doing in our name. If there's a criticism to be made today, it's that the press isn't doing enough to put the pressure on the government to provide information.
Freedom of the press is not just important to democracy, it is democracy.
The profession of journalism ought to be about telling people what they need to know - not what they want to know.
The ethic of the journalist is to recognize one's prejudices, biases, and avoid getting them into print.
Cavil you may, but never criticise.
Happiness is an immunity.
