“ Andrew Hamilton… propounded the novel theory (novel for America, at least) that freedom of the press is a basic need of society. He insisted that the people have a right to know what their government is doing. He noted that they should be able to complain when they have a grievance against the government, and that a sure, easy and speedy method of doing this is for them to make their opinions known in the newspapers.” Buranelli (1957) p. 55. “ Now the distinction was no longer between criticism and no criticism, but between valid criticism and invalid criticism…” Buranelli (1957), p. 54.
