He can steal your notes. Just don’t let him drink your whiskey or smoke your cigars.

Maybe that's because they were able to get away with their lies and deceptions more easily before talk radio and the internet though. For example:
The Ukrainian Holocaust of 1932-33:
"To curry Stalin's favor, for example, Walter Duranty - the Moscow based reporter of the New York Times, repeatedly denied the existence of a famine in his articles (while privately estimating that about ten million people starved to death). For the "profundity, impartiality, sound judgment and exceptional clarity" of his dispatches from the USSR, Duranty received the Pulitzer Prize in 1932.
I don’t think it was unbiased back then either. It’s just all the people had. The gatekeepers have been defeated.
LOL. Best mea culpa I've seen in a while :-)
