They are evil people, the press, the media, they are bad people, and nobody, nobody lies like they do.

Out of nowhere.

Probably their instinct is wise. Who knows?

We believe in a moral code. Communism denies innate right or wrong. As W. Cleon Skousen has said in his timely book, The Naked Communist: The communist 'has convinced himself that nothing is evil which answers the call of expediency.' This is a most damnable doctrine.

Good and evil lie close together. Seek no artistic unity in character.
