Famous quotes containing the word newspapers:

    “Those newspapers of the nation which most loudly cried dictatorship against me would have been the first to justify the beginnings of dictatorship by somebody else.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “When the newspapers have got nothing else to talk about, they cut loose on the young. The young are always news. If they are up to something, that’s news. If they aren’t, that’s news too.”
    —Kenneth Rexroth (1905–1982)

    “They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
