I Don't Think People Ought To Believe Only One News Medium. They Ought To Read And They Ought To Go To Opinion Journals And All The Rest Of It. I Think It's Terribly Important That This Be Taught In The Public Schools, Because Otherwise, We're Gonna Get To A Situation Because Of Economic Pressures And Other Things Where Television's All You've Got Left. And That Would Be Disastrous. We Can't Cover The News In A Half-hour Event Evening. That's Ridiculous.
