Default Time Magazine Article "What's causing ATC delays"

A famous newspaperman on newspapers:

"If you don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed; if you do read the
newspaper, you are misinformed."
- Mark Twain

"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."
- Mark Twain in his "License of the Press" speech.

"The old saw says, 'Let a sleeping dog lie.' Right. Still, when there is
much at stake it is better to get a newspaper to do it."
- Mark Twain

"I am personally acquainted with hundreds of journalists, and the opinion
of the majority of them would not be worth tuppence in private, but when
they speak in print it is the newspaper that is talking (the pygmy scribe
is not visible) and then their utterances shake the community like the
thunders of prophecy."
- Mark Twain speech, Feb. 1873

"Our papers have one peculiarity - it is American - their irreverence ...
They are irreverent toward pretty much everything, but where they laugh one
good king to death, they laugh a thousand cruel and infamous shams and
superstitions into the grave, and the account is squared. Irreverence is
the champion of liberty and its only sure defense."
- Mark Twain's Notebook

"Unassailable certainty is the thing that gives a newspaper the firmest and
most valuable reputation."
- Mark Twain's "Roughing It"

"The devil's aversion to holy water is a light matter compared with a
despot's dread of a newspaper that laughs."
- "The American Press," first printed in Mark Twain: Press Critic,
University of California, 2003.
