CSL Daily 12/30/20

NOTE: As you may have noticed, this CSL Daily has been updated less frequently recently. This has been due in part to some hosting issues that should now be resolved. HOWEVER, even though this is fixed, I’ve decided to DISCONTINUE this feature at the end of this year. You will still be able to visit archives here and my Facebook page or Twitter page.

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

“We must get rid of our arrogant assumption that it is the masses who can be led by the nose. As far as I can make out, the shoe is on the other foot. The only people who are really the dupes of their favourite newspapers are the intelligentsia. It is they who read leading articles: the poor read the sporting news, which is mostly true.”

Private Bates
(Published in The Spectator on 12/29/1944)
