Summary

This quote emphasizes the vital role of a free press in society. It highlights that while a free press can sometimes deliver unfavorable news, it is essential to maintain freedom in order to prevent the press from becoming solely harmful. By allowing the press to operate independently and without constraints, it has the potential to hold those in power accountable, expose corruption, inform citizens, and facilitate dialogue. Without freedom, the press could be manipulated, controlled, and used as a tool to distort information or suppress the truth, ultimately resulting in a detrimental impact on society.
