I ran across this article this evening and thought instantly of what Huxley has said and I have outlined in past articles. I find it amazing that ABC news is decrying the presidents actions on press access. All I can say is wow! and I have to fall back to a quote Huxley took from Adolf Hitler:
the propagandist should adopt “a systematically one-sided attitude towards every problem that has to be dealt with.” He must never admit that he might be wrong or that people with a different point of view might be even partially right. Opponents should not be argued with; they should be attacked, shouted down, or, if they become too much of a nuisance, liquidated. The morally squeamish intellectual may be shocked by this kind of thing. But the masses are always convinced that “right is on the side of the active aggressor.”
