佐拉（Zola）写道，新闻界的谨慎可以分为两组：每天毫不犹豫地撒谎。但是其他人，例如《时代》，在所有无关紧要的场合都讲真话，因此当必要时，他们可以用必要的权威欺骗公众。
(Zola wrote that the mendacity of the press could be divided into two groups: the yellow press lies every day without hesitating. But others, like the Times, speak the truth on all inconsequential occasions, so they can deceive the public with the requisite authority when it becomes necessary.)
