Hilaire Belloc

The Free Press (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Excellent article about the evils of what he calls the official Press, how it suppresses some news, distorts others, or invents a few, as a part of the political agenda of its owners or advertising sponsors, never in favour of the public. He also considers how the free Press, however puny and subject to boycott, can try to launch a never-ending fight against the official press. (Goodreads)
