Reading Experience:
Evidence:
‘You don’t read "The Daily Mail", I suppose; but reading it out here opens one’s eyes to the dangerous influence the press is beginning to arrogate and may ultimately attain. That paper makes one sick, not because what it says is untrue (for the most part) or unsound or insincere: but because of its colossal egotism … and its power of anticipating public opinion by twenty-four hours and giving it just the turn in direction "The Daily Mail" wishes.’
