Summary

This quote suggests that it is strange for individuals who report on political matters to not hold any political opinions themselves. It implies that being involved in the political sphere naturally extends to having personal viewpoints. The quote raises the question of how impartiality and objectivity can coexist in political journalism if reporters are expected to detach themselves from their own beliefs. It challenges the notion that political journalism can be completely unbiased, as the absence of personal views can seem unnatural or implausible.

There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly. I please myself with imagining a State at last which can afford to be just to all men, and to treat the individual with respect as a neighbor; which even would not think it inconsistent with its own repose if a few went to live aloof from it, not meddling with it, nor embraced by it, who fulfilled all the duties of neighbors and fellow-men. A State which bore this kind of fruit, and suffered it to drop off as fast as it ripened, would prepare the way for a still more perfect and glorious State, which also I have imagined, but not yet anywhere seen.

But the truth is, that when a Library expels a book of mine and leaves an unexpurgated Bible lying around where unprotected youth and age can get hold of it, the deep unconscious irony of it delights me and doesn't anger me.
