Walter Lippmann on war propaganda

We must remember that in time of war what is said on the enemy’s side of the front is always propaganda and what is said on our side of the front is truth and righteousness, the cause of humanity and a crusade for peace. Is it necessary for us the height of our power to stoop to such self-deceiving nonsense?

~ Walter Lippmann, former advisor to Woodrow Wilson
