Jo Brand

Accuracy is twin brother to honesty, and inaccuracy to dishonesty.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Image
The American press is extraordinarily free and vigorous, as it should be. It should be, not because it is free of inaccuracy, oversimplification and bias, but because the alternative to that freedom is worse than those failings.
Robert Bork
