It has become a sarcastic proverb that a thing must be true if you saw it in a newspaper. That is the opinion intelligent people have of that lying vehicle in a nutshell. But the trouble is that the stupid people- who constitute the grand overwhelming majority of this and all other nations- do believe and are moulded and convinced by what they get out of a newspaper, and there is where the harm lies. There is no suffering comparable with that which a private person feels when he is for the first time pilloried in print. Mark Twain.
