And not here. Hoffman. Hi, this is Karl Barnstein, the Washington Post, and I was just wondering if you can remember all the presidents' men. Let's hear it for our propagandists, the people who bring us the news. Unencumbered by troublesome screwpils, they're proud of their compromised views. And once was a time we admired them, we thought they were principal fighters. But what we see now is more worthy of the union of Soviet writers. That they should be Liberty's guardians as truly a shame and a pity. The shields and the flags, the studious and hacks, the sold-outs, scribes who report on the tribes, who rule from our capital city. Let's hear it for news commentators, those masters of bunditry, who share with us all their opinions wide ranging from A down to B. Standing right there in the spotlight, they could do some significant things, but we'd sooner expect wooden puppets to dance without handles or strings.

The shields and these flags, the studious and hacks, the sold-out scribes who report on the tribes, who rule from our capital city. Let it's hear it for all those reporters, who learn how the contest is played. If they will just write what's expected, they can be handsomely paid.
