The same people who are trying to muzzle the media used to feed journalists with propaganda when they were in the opposition.

These people know they are in power because the media fought and stood by them, but now they are using the instruments of Government to harass and intimidate them for questioning their leadership.

The Press has the mandate to inform, entertain, and educate the society and any action meant to interfere with this freedom will be resisted at all costs.

The American people are free to do exactly what they are told.

Nowadays, it is true, we have mass media and expert propaganda to spread suspicion and fear. But the people I mean—and they form the great majority—are not suspicious and fearful, as many educated and more influential persons are. Propaganda has not made them accept the Bomb. We protesters, though we may have won over some of their sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, have not made them reject it. They remain profoundly, astonishingly, shockingly indifferent.

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