“Some degree of abuse is inseparable from the proper use of every thing; and in no instance is this more true, than in that of the press.  It has accordingly been decided by the practice of the states, that it is better to leave a few of its noxious branches, to their luxuriant growth, than by pruning them away, to injure the vigor of those yielding the proper fruits.” 

• James Madison, The Report of 1800
