"THE MOST DAMNABLE TRAVESTM ON JUSTICE
The above is the term used by the New York World, in its much quoted,
proudly vaunted editorial of May 10th, 1928, on the #adium"poisoning" situation.
The World is wrong, however, t best, for it should have stated "a more" rather
than the most", for the most damnable travesty on justice in this case is
represented by the action of the New York World itself.
In this day of degenerate journalism* the public with justice does not
believe all it sees in the papers. It is fed and are "fed up" on deliberate
lies, distorted facts, half-truths, false inferences, unwarranted conclusions,
dishonest emphasis, misleading headlines, contradictions between headlines and
text, and internal contradictions within the text; Undue sex emphasis, undue
and
crime emphasis,/pandering to advertising by mergers along the chain store cut
and dried boiler plate style which kills individuality and local initiative -
inspirdpublicity printed from ulterior motives or because of laziness,
Political handlicking and lack of editorial virility and honesty of purpose,
such as characterizepsome of the great journals of the past, including the
founders of the N.Y. World, from whose teachings the present publication has
so irrevocably stmayed.

Commissioner of Labor Statistics, it admits and even boasts of a deliverate
