Hugh Grant opposing freedom (for non-"proper" press)

"To the press alone, chequered as it is with abuses, the world is indebted for all the triumphs which have been gained by reason and humanity over error and oppression" ~ James Madison

"If in other lands the press and books and literature of all kinds are censored, we must redouble our efforts here to keep them free" ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt

"A free press can of course be good or bad, but, most certainly, without freedom it will never be anything but bad. . . . Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better, whereas enslavement is a certainty of the worse." ~ Albert Camus

"I'm not for regulating the proper press, the broadsheet press. But it is insane that the tabloid press is left unregulated." ~ Hugh Grant (Actor/Authoritarian)
