Newspapers ::baah::

To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worthwhile. The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter.
- Aleister Crowley

“I am unable to understand how a man of honor could take a newspaper in his hands without a shudder of disgust.”

Charles Baudelaire

The best newspapermen I know are those most thrilled by the daily pump of city room excitements; they long fondly for a "good murder"; they pray that assassinations, wars, catastrophes break on their editions.”
