You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dare write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my papers, before twenty-four hours my **occupation** would be gone. The business of the journalist is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes. Il n'y a pas, à ce stade de l'histoire mondiale aux États-Unis d'Amérique, de chose telle qu'une presse indépendante. Vous le savez et je le sais. Il n'y a pas un de vous qui ose écrire ses franches opinions, et si vous le faisiez, vous savez d'avance qu'elles ne seraient jamais publiées. Je suis hebdomadairement payé pour tenir mes franches opinions à distance du journal auquel je suis lié. D'autres d'entre vous reçoivent de mêmes émoluments pour des choses similaires, et n'importe lequel d'entre vous qui serait assez bête pour écrire de franches opinions serait à la rue à chercher un autre emploi. Si je laissais mes franches opinions être publiées dans l'une des parutions de mes journaux, mon emploi s'évaporerait avant vingt-quatre heures. Le boulot du journaliste est de détruire la vérité, de mentir effrontément, de pervertir, de diaboliser, de lécher les pieds de Mammon et de vendre son pays et sa race pour gagner son pain quotidien. Vous le savez et je le sais, et quelle folie est cette célébration d'une presse indépendante ? Nous sommes des pantins, ils tirent les ficelles et nous dansons. Nos talents, nos possibilités et nos vies sont tous la propriété d'autres hommes. Nous sommes des prostitués intellectuels.

You shall answer: We, thy servants, are shepherds, from our infancy until now, both we and our fathers.

Maintenant, lorsque Pharaon vous mandera et dira : « Quelles sont vos occupations ? » vous répondrez : « Tes serviteurs se sont adonnés au bétail depuis leur jeunesse jusqu’à présent et nous et nos pères. » C’est afin que vous demeuriez dans la province de Gessen, car les Égyptiens ont en horreur tout pasteur de menu bétail.
