Prostitution of the Intellect 出賣靈魂的行業; "We are intellectual prostitutes." “我們是聰明的"技女"。”美國傳媒高人說的!

1880年

Prostitution of the Intellect出賣靈魂的行業

John Swinton, former Chief of Staff of the most powerful and prestigious newspaper on earth, The New York Times, when asked to give a toast to the "free press" at the New York Press Club stated:

世界上最強大、最負盛名的報紙《紐約時報》的前執行總主任約翰·斯溫頓被要求在紐約新聞俱樂部的“新聞自由”聚會上，敬酒時說：

"There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to 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 opinion out of the paper I am connected with.

“在世界歷史的這個年代，你知道，我也知道，在美國是沒有一個獨立的媒體。你們中沒有一個人敢寫下你誠實的觀點，如果你寫下了，你事先就知道它永遠不會出現在報紙上。我每週都有報酬，因為我的不會把誠實意見出現在我有關的報紙。

Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so 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 paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone.

你們中的另一些人也有類似的薪水，任何一個愚蠢到寫出誠實的觀點的人都會走上街頭尋找另一份工作。如果我允許我誠實的意見出現在我的一期論文上，二十四小時前我的職業就會消失了。

The business of the journalists 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 tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. 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.

記者的職責就是破壞真相；直接說謊；誤導；誹謗；在財神腳下指鹿為馬，出賣他的國家和民族來換取他的生計。你知道，我也知道，向所謂獨立媒體敬酒有什麼荒謬？我們是幕後富人的工具和奴隸。我們是傀儡，他們拉弦，我們跳舞。我們的才能、我們的智慧和我們的生活都是金主的財產。

"We are intellectual prostitutes."

“我們是聰明的妓女。”

And the most sickening part is that the US is paying and REWARDING its lying medias to spew and concoct more lies, fake news, misinformation, propagandas and conspiracies against any country that refuses to toe the line set by the bloody US.

最令人作嘔的是，美國政府正在資養和獎勵其撒謊的媒體，以散佈和編造更多的謊言、假新聞、虛假資訊、公宣和各種陰謀，並且對付一切反對任何拒絕遵守美國，這個骯髒污穢無耻的國家所設定的路線的任何其他國家或地方。

老安譯後按: 新聞工作者大都是妓女, 這是美國人所講的，不關老安事，老安有幸，出世早，六十、七十年代認識的都是認真，敬業、誠實的傳媒，真正的記者，有心的編輯，報人! 後來的妖魔鬼怪如爛生菓、查先生後的日月報、人言報，只用來包厨餘而已!

今天, 國安法雖然已立, 不過香江還是妓者遍地, 例如, 傷抬, 妖電視, 撈TB等等的妓騙者仍然橫行妖毒!!!
