All successful newpapers are ceaselessly querulous and bellicose. They never defend anyone or anything if they can help it; if the job is forced upon them, they tackle it by denouncing someone or something else.

-- H L Mencken, (Sep 12 1880-1956), US editor, satirist; He is known for his biting satire, insults, and debunking in The American Mercury, 1924-33.
