Burning the mass media to the ground

"This generation is burning the mass media to the ground. We are reclaiming our rights to world history."- Julian Assange

"It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime." -- Thomas Paine -- (1737-1809) US Founding father

"Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves, therefore, are its only safe depositories." - Thomas Jefferson - Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 14, 1781
