“There is not one of you who would dare write his honest opinion. The business of Journalism is now to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, fall at the feet of Mammon and sell himself for his daily bread. We are tools, vessels of rich men behind the scenes, we are jumping jacks. They pull the strings; we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are the properties of these men.

CUBA: We call Castro a "butcher" but love his cigars.
RUSSIA: Cheney insults them, U.S.citizens still think they’re all "Commies", but Bush has looked into Putin’s eyes and sees a fine soul.
