Thomas Jefferson on Newspapers

Thomas Jefferson is reported to have said:

As for what is not true, you will always find abundance in the newspapers.
And:
I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month; and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it.
It's hard not to agree with him after all these years.
