"The function of the press in society is to inform, but its role in society is to make money." ― A. J. Liebling Topic(s): Society More From A. J. Liebling "An Englishman teaching an American about food is like the blind leading the one-eyed." "Southern political personalities, like sweet corn, travel badly. They lose flavor with every hundred yards away from the patch. By the time they reach New York, they are like Golden Bantam that has been trucked up from Texas – stale and unprofitable. The consumer forgets that the corn tastes different where it grows." "Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one."
