“We live in a dirty and dangerous world. There are some things the general public does not need to know and shouldn't. Democracy flourishes when the government can take legitimate steps to keep its secrets and when the press can decide whether to print what it knows.”
--Katherine Graham, publisher of the Washington Post, during a speech at CIA headquarters, 1988
Hmmm ... if Jeff Bezos were to give a similar speech today, would he say anything different?
