Best 3 quotes of Richard S. Salant on MyQuotes

If newsmen do not tell the truth as they see it because it might make waves, or if their bosses decide something should or should not be broadcast because of Washington or Main Street consequences, we have dishonored ourselves and we have lost the First Amendment by default.

Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have.

Our reporters do not cover stories from their point of view. They are presenting them from nobodys point of view.
