Whoever worked up that little blurb about Raines speech is, of course, self indulgent. "lashes." "Disinformation" in quotes. So it's hard to actually know what Raines said, given the possibility of bad quoting, out of context quoting, etc.

But if the following is an accurate quote, then two cheers for Raines:

The most important development of the post-war period among journalists, American journalists, was the acceptance throughout our profession of an ethic that says we report and edit the news for our papers, but we don’t wear the political collar of our owners, or the government, or any political party. It is that legacy we must protect with our diligent stewardship.
