THE TYRANNY OF BAD JOURNALISM by G K Chesterton
The Chesterton family were ever friends to the nationalist cause. Whatever flaws they as individuals had were minor ones; their hearts were in the right place. It gives me great pride that I wrote an article for the magazine founded by A K Chesterton, Candour, which itself was the successor to Cecil Chesterton's New Witness and which I advise everyone to support by purchasing their literature etc. They also publish many books worth reading. Perhaps G K Chesterton's biggest flaw was that he only made it half-way to Paganism in adopting Roman Catholicism as his religion, in spite of him acknowledging that the things he loved in life and culture were the remnants of our Pagan past, and he often railed against the Puritan wellspring of liberalism and capitalism. In this article, which is as much for our time as that of 1917, he highlights the conspiracy of the media, for which he would probably be called a conspiracy theorist today, in spite of every word he says about the media being true. The end paragraph refers to the Marconi Scandal and how the media avoided naming the principle movers and shakers in the corruption as Jewish.
