Obviously, a man's judgement cannot be better than the information on 
which he has based it.  Give him the truth and he may still go wrong 
when he has the chance to be right, but give him no news or present 
him only with distorted and incomplete data, with ignorant, sloppy or 
biased reporting, with propaganda and deliberate falsehoods, and you 
destroy his whole reasoning processes, and make him something less 
than a man.
