Gordon Clark: Is 'News Management" Ethical? (Christianity Today)

1963. Is ‘News Management’ Ethical? Christianity Today. 12 Apr. Vol 7. No. 14. pg. 33.

Dr. Gordon H. Clark, noted evangelical scholar, observed:

“That it is legitimate in time of war to deceive the enemy about impending military movements is a point of general agreement. But there is no general agreement that it is right for a government to deceive its citizens in time of peace.”

“The voters,” said Clark, who is a philosophy professor at Butler University, “cannot preserve their freedom and judge the honesty and wisdom of their officials if these officials are evasive or secretive.”
