Quote of the Day:
“We witness that there is a relationship between government, media and industry that is evident even at this most spurious and superficial level. These three institutions support one another. We know that however cool a media outlet may purport to be, their primary loyalty is to their corporate backers. We know also that you cannot criticise the corporate backers openly without censorship and subsequent manipulation of this information.”
~Comedian Russell Brand, explaining why he decided to remind Hugo Boss directives of their company’s distasteful past.
