A political consultant I once worked with, after we saw our candidate’s name appear prominently in a less than flattering newspaper article, made the following comment: “Did they get his name right? We’ll take it.” In other words, there’s nothing wrong with free press. (A caveat might be carved out for when that press involves […]
