PAGE 8—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, January 1, 1970 BY THE WAY (Continued from page 1) that their news departments were completely fair, and as pure as the driven snow. But they went even further than that: they claimed that the Vice President was advocating “gov ernment censorship”—a claim that was just as false and dis torted as the work of the net work commentators and pro ducers mentioned by Mr. Ag- new. For the record, it is instruct ive to quote verbatim from the Vice President’s speech: “I am not asking for government cen sorship or any other kind of censorship. I am asking wheth er a form of censorship already exists when the news that 40 million Americans receive each night is determined by a hand ful of men responsible only to their corporate employers and filtered through a handful of commentators who admit to their own set of biases.” Yet this is what The News and Observer in Raleigh, for example, describes as “Agnew’s Demagoguery”. Agnew, said The News and Observer, ap pears to be demanding silent as sent to administration policies.” Mr. Agnew did no such thing, and he did not “appear” to be RITZ THEATRE THURSDAY FRIDAY and SATURDAY Christmas Tree William Holden Virna Lisi (G) MONDAY TUESDAY Mayerling Omar Sharif Catherine Deneuve (M) WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY Romeo & Juliet Olivia Hussey Leonard Whiting (G) CLOVER LEAF DRIVE-IN FRIDAY SATURDAY The Devils Eight Christopher Jones Fabian SUNDAY First Run Biggest Bundle of Them All Robert Wagner Raquel Welch Always A Color Cartoon The Drive-In Will Be Closed On Monday, Tuesday, Wed nesday And Thursday For The Winter Months. doing any such thing. The news paper then picked up a quote from Mr. Agnew’s speech, out of context, and proceeded to suggest that Mr. Agnw was advocating censorship. This was precisely the kind of jour nalism that the Vice President was talking about. Yet The News and Observer presumed to talk about Mr. Agnew’s “dang erous demagoguery”! No, sir, the leftwing crowd no longer snickers about Spiro Agnew. We have probably heard the last of their veiled mockery of the man’s proud Greek an cestry. They aren’t sneering, “Spiro Who?” any more. The Vice President has put his fing er on them, and they know it. Their protests, considering the manner in which they have mer cilessly worked Mr. Agnew over these past several months, are a joke. They had it coming. As for Mr. Agnew, at last there has emerged an outspok en national leader who identi fies with millions of Americans whc have long been fed up with the daily diet of leftwing propa ganda flowing—under the dis guise of “news”— from not only the television and radio networks, but from a semi-mon opoly of newspapers with large circulations. There is no question, as Mr. Agnew said, that the news med ia have created much of the vio lence and turmoil now threaten ing to strangle this republic. They have bred and nurtured demented militants and the un thinking revolutionaries; they have glorified the welfare state almost to the point of driving a stake through the heart of the free enterprise system. It is time, as Mr. Agnew said, for the people to let the “hand ful of men responsible” for all of this know that the public is aware of what has been going on. And if that be “demagog uery, as The News and Ob server says it is, or if that be “censorship”, as the network executives and commentators claim it to be—then Heaven help Mr. Agnew to make the most of it. This is precisely what the country has been need ing for a long, long time. RACIAL DISTURBANCE (Continued from page 1) Newberry during the year. Among them: Thomas H. Pope, local attor ney, was awarded an honorary doctorate degree by Newberry College at its annual commence ment exercises. Mr. Pope is vice-chairman of the College’s Board of Trustees.
