The Cambridge Dictionary<br /><br />I think "Free Press" works nicely to meet the current need.<br /><br />Hard to find any humor in a tragedy like the sinking of the Titanic, but a newspaper account that noted the London Symphony had booked a passage but it was cancelled at the last minute motivated some wag to lament the lost opportunity for "one Hell of a rendition of 'Nearer My God to Thee.'"<br /><br />That The Lusitania is, unlike the Titanic, lost to public memory might be due in part to the fact that it was only one of many wartime tragedies, but it did play a major role in convincing the American public that we should enter the Great War. When I worked for the Army and visited the Pentagon I frequently walked down a corridor lined with historic recruiting posters, the most provocative one sporting a "Remember the Lusitania" slogan over a chilling picture of a young mother, babe in arms, drowning in a blue green sea.<br /><br />Tom Evans <br /><br />Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09641357239788323783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-46200985814468262382017-01-27T10:02:25.179-06:002017-01-27T10:02:25.179-06:00I hate to pour cold water on a noble idea, but &qu...I hate to pour cold water on a noble idea, but "free press" has (for me, anyway) a bad undercurrent, or aftertaste: "free" as in "you don't have to pay for it." That characterizes much if not most of the information that's available through the internet, which is the situation that has undermined a lot of newspapers and other traditional media.<br /><br />Bitter ScribeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857840826894504436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-17187128753584525842017-01-27T08:57:15.154-06:002017-01-27T08:57:15.154-06:00The story of the wireless operators brought a tear...The story of the wireless operators brought a tear to me eye once again and I found it an apt metaphor for journalists refusing to surrender to the bullying bundists. Lets not go down with the ship however.

I hope the events of the last few months will bring people back to legitimate newspapers and journalists. People armed with knowledge cannot be controlled.
