The article points out: "the principle of Goebbels is to completely control all newspapers, magazines, radio, films, etc., and to spread rumors so that what the people see and hear are all fascist rumors, without exception. In the hands of Goebbels, the newspaper has changed contrary to its original intention. Rumors have replaced real news. People will not be smart when they read this kind of newspaper, but will become more and more confused. Look at Germany. There are tens of thousands of people who are going to be cannon fodder for Hitler. " The article points out that there are two kinds of newspapers: "one is the newspaper of the people, which tells the people to enlighten the people's democratic thought with true news and make the people smart. The other is the newspaper of the new despotism, which tells the people to block the people's thoughts with rumors and make them stupid. The former is good for the society, the country and the nation. Without it, the so-called civilization can not be imagined. The latter, on the contrary, is a kind of poison to society, to human beings, to the nation, and a steel knife that kills without blood. "
