Alexander Solzhenitsyn Quote: Revealing The True Power of the Press!

„Hastiness and superficiality are the psychic disease of the 20th century and more than anywhere else this disease is reflected in the press. Such as it is, however, the press has become the greatest power within the Western countries, more powerful than the legislative power, the executive, and the judiciary.

But who has granted Western journalists their power, for how long a time, and with what prerogatives?“
