US Presidency
1968

An informed mind and we get a great deal of our information from you is the guardian genius of democracy. So, you are the keepers of a trust. You must be just. You must guard and you must defend your media against the spirit of faction, against the works of divisiveness and bigotry, against the corrupting evils of partisanship in any guise. For America's press, as for the American Presidency, the integrity and the responsibility and the freedom the freedom to know the truth and let the truth make us free must never be compromised or diluted or destroyed. The defense of our media is your responsibility. Government can not and must not and never will- as long as I have anything to do about it -intervene in that role.
