The phrase “speaking truth to power” goes back to 1955, when the American Friends Service Committee (Quakers) published Speak Truth to Power, a pamphlet ii at proposed a new approach to the Cold War. Its title, which came to Friend Milton Mayer toward the end of the week in summer 1954 when the composing committee finished work on the document, has become almost a clichehttp://www2.gol.com/users/quakers/living_the_truth.htm

When someone says they are “speaking truth to power”, that person assumes he possesses the truth. What arrogance. Expect nothing more from so-called journalists of today.
