Summary

This quote highlights an often-overlooked aspect of having a free press: the freedom of choice in what one chooses to read. While freedom of the press ensures the availability of various sources of information, it also grants individuals the liberty to decide what they wish to consume or ignore. It emphasizes the importance of personal autonomy and the recognition that individuals can exercise their own judgment in determining the credibility and relevance of media content. This freedom empowers individuals to make informed decisions about the information they consume, thereby allowing for diverse perspectives and opinions to coexist in a free society.
