Speeches & Addresses - Thom Hartmann Book Club

The rights and duties of the press are, at times, much misunderstood. NO one contends, of course, that it has a right to invade homes for the purpose of prying into strictly private conduct, however depraved. But whenever that conduct takes place under such circumstances that the public must, of necessity, be affected by it, then a public journal has not only the right, but is charged with the duty of exposing it. If, therefore, the character of the life led by the plaintiff has been not only in itself immoral, but has been displayed in such a manner that the public could not but be scandalized by it, I shall appeal to you to establish by your verdict that the newspaper which has held him up in his true light is not only not open to the charge of overstepping the bounds of its legitimate province, but, on the contrary, deserves commendation for what it has done.

It remains for you, therefore, in the discharge not only of the duty which you owe to the plaintiff, but of that which you owe to the community, carefully to determine the facts of this case, and then to decide whether those facts legally afford to the defendant as the owner of this paper immunity for this publication.
