"[This] easy-to-read work is an excellent reminder of what can happen if we doze at our journalistic posts, if we lose sight of the fact that the best protection for a free press is itself, and of an instance in history—sadly, one of many—when mob mentality trumped reason and law."
—Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly
I find the attitude of the new administration toward the press to be chillingly reminiscent of the McCarthy era. For those of us that did not live through these times or do not remember, this book will hopefully serve as a reminder. We need to support our press and demand their vigilance in reporting unvarnished facts.
