Excerpt from The Works of Orestes A. Brownson, Vol. 10 The press makes readers, but does little to make Virtuous and intelligent readers. The newspaper press is, for the most part, under the control of men Of very ordinary abili ties, lax principles, and limited acquirements. It echoes and exaggerates popular errors, and does little or nothing to create a sound public opinion. Your popular literature caters to popular taste, passions, prejudices, ignorance, and errors; it is by no means above the average degree of virtue ind intelligence which already Obtains, and can do nothing to create a higher standard of virtue or tone Of thought.
