With the exception of areas where modern civilization has yet to permeate, or areas closed off by repressive, authoritarian regimes, no member of the media will be accepted by the public if it merely puts a happy face on bad situations or publishes flattery. If it does not speak the truth and report events which are meaningful, interesting and beneficial to its readers or viewers, it will soon become obsolete.
除了在現代文明尚未進入、或是在極權政府控制下緊鎖門扉的地區之外，沒有任何傳播媒體能夠粉飾太平、歌功頌德而被公眾接受；如果不說真話、不報導對讀者或觀眾有意義、有興趣、有幫助的事情，就會被唾棄、被淘汰。
