This was a welcome departure from what Zuckerberg maligned as the "top-down way" that Google organized the internet, which made the user feel like a casual reader alone in the Library of Congress. Facebook, by contrast, felt like a Friday night house party. The top-down way was also how editors molded news at the New York Times and the Washington Post." | Jill Abramson | ||
| 9b4a052 | When those two papers found themselves chasing the same story as Marshall, they would assign teams of reporters to sift through buckets of documents, all to contend with the blogger and his larger team of no-names. | Jill Abramson | ||

| 678f726 | Keller clamped down on reporters' uses of anonymous sources, especially national security officials who sold "scoops" but wouldn't attach their names to the information they peddled. He was deeply skeptical about anonymous sources in Washington, D.C., where he had briefly worked at the beginning of his career." | Jill Abramson | ||

| 5990813 | It's easy to forget how desperately afraid of centralized power the Founders of America were. The First Amendment protecting freedom of the press was first for a reason. | Jill Abramson | ||
| 7692d93 | Each journalist cost nearly half a million dollars when you added in healthcare costs and other coverage fees. The old-timers cost even more. Thinning the herd was the only way to achieve significant savings. | Jill Abramson | ||
| ca2018b | Needless to say, none of this was journalism. They were producing an entertaining, purposely offensive lad mag at a time when Maxim and others were in vogue. | Jill Abramson | ||
| b0f656d | Woodward went on CNN's Larry King Live, where a viewer called in with a question for him: What happens if we go to war against Iraq, knock them out, and then find they had no weapons of mass destruction in the first place? Woodward's response would haunt him for years: "I think the chance of that happening is about zero." | Jill Abramson | ||

"We see it as an absolute front-burner area to go after with the same kind of intensity as politics," Smith told the Poynter Institute. "Maybe animals, even." | Jill Abramson | ||

| f51db01 | Those left at home, the Amises, Murdochs, Drabbles and Byatts, subsisting in an England that has 'been too cosy, too easy to live in', have avoided the shocks of the life overseas and hence have had to 'make literature out of suburban adultery'. | Roger Lewis | ||

| 0f0ceee | I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws and upon courts. These are false hopes, believe me, these are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. While it lies there it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it. | Anthony Lewis | ||
| 3f233c8 | I think that we should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe and believe to be fraught with death, unless they so imminently threaten immediate interference with the lawful and pressing purposes of the law that an immediate check is required | Anthony Lewis | ||
| 4af545a | Like religion, patriotism is a virtue so indispensable and exalted, its excesses pass with little censure. But when . . . it descends to fanaticism, it is of the reprehensible quality of the religion that incited the massacre of St. Bartholomew, the tortures of the Inquisition, the fires of Smithfield, the scaffolds of Salem, and is equally cruel and murderous. In its name, as in that of Liberty, what crimes have been committed! In every ag.. | Anthony Lewis | ||
| 64e8a37 | At the time the First Amendment was adopted, as today, there were those unscrupulous enough and skillful enough to use the deliberate or reckless falsehood as an effective political tool. . . . That speech is used as a tool for political ends does not automatically bring it under the protective mantle of the Constitution. For the use of the known lie as a tool is at once at odds with the premises of democratic government and with the orderl.. | Anthony Lewis | ||

| 7df8257 | Anthony Lewis had written in The New York Times in September of 1975, "only increases the elements of morbidity and paranoia and fantasy in this country. It romanticizes crimes that are terrible because of their lack of purpose. It obscures our necessary understanding, all of us, that in this life there is often tragedy without reason." | Joan Didion | ||
| e26935e | The search for conspiracy," Anthony Lewis had written in The New York Times in September of 1975, "only increases the elements of morbidity and paranoia and fantasy in this country.

It obscures our necessary understanding, all of us, that in this life there is often tragedy without reason." | Joan Didion | ||
| 84d9706 | But then great victories for civil liberty are frequently won in the cases of unappealing people. | Anthony Lewis | ||
| fd36ab0 | When we are dealing with words that also are a constituent act, like the Constitution of the United States, we must realize that they have called into life a being the development of which could not have been foreseen completely by the most gifted of its begetters. . . . The case before us must be considered in the light of our whole experience and not merely in that of what was said a hundred years ago. | Anthony Lewis | ||
| 54ea06e | I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws and upon courts. These are false hopes, believe me, these are false hopes.

| 0831817 | But freedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter much. That would be a mere shadow of freedom. The test of its substance is the right to differ as to things that touch the heart of the existing order. If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion or other matters of opinion or force citizens to co.. | Anthony Lewis | ||

| 00e9d4e | When quarrel and strife arose among the immortals, if one of them that dwells on Olympus speaks false, Zeus sends Iris to bring the gods' great oath from far off in a golden jug, the celebrated golden water that drops from a high, sheer cliff and, far below the wide-pathed earth, flows from the holy river through dark night, a branch of Oceanus. A tenth part is her share: nine parts Oceanus winds round the earth and the broad back of the se.. | Hesiod | ||
| 0ee75c7 | Thanks again to Alan Butler's work, this time I was able to inspect the work of Hesiod in connection with the Phaistos Disc for being calendrical, and now I view it through the lens of ancient Egypt by projecting it directly onto the circular zodiac of Dendera. Hesiod has used three different references to the days in his work: (the first ..); (the middle ..); and (.. of the month). With this system which he had used, I linked the "first" r.. | Ibrahim Ibrahim | ||
| 69ea307 | Paraskevidekatriaphobia (i.e. the fear of Friday the 13th) did NOT originate from the story of Jesus, but rather from ancient Egypt's calendrical system of the 10-days decans which Hesiod had directly addressed in his work! Fearing the Sunset in the West starts with the month entering its middle phase beginning or ending with Friday the 13th depending on our starting point on the circular zodiac of Dendera. | Ibrahim Ibrahim | ||
| 8cf9cd2 | From the Heliconian Muses, let us now begin the song Of those who hold the great and sacred hill of Helicon, And dance on tender feet around the dark spring in a row, And round about the altar of the son of Kronos go; And when in the Permessos they have bathed their soft, young skin, Or sacred stream Olmeios or the fountain Hippocrene, | Hesiod |
