The quotes I liked the best from J-L were numbers 510, 520, 545, and 575.
I enjoyed quote 545 the best because I thought it was one of the most relevant to today. In short, it said that good, true journalism is done impartially. Straight facts with no influence of personal feelings. In a world filled with computers, televisions, personal devices, and newspapers, you can get your news instantly. You can also get it from thousands of different sources, and the reliability of many of these sources is in question. People used to just watch Walter Cronkite to get all the news they needed. Today the news is given to us in a variety of different ways, skewed to influence our political beliefs based on what news they show and how they present it. Basically, this quote is questioning the validity of many news sources, and is saying that persuasion is used much to often to sway our views, and is used in unnecessary places like the news.
