Long piece, and in that it's a transcript of a speech, it's not the most grammatically accurate piece you'll read today. It also rambles a bit. But it's well worth reading: Caddell lays out how the news media is screwing the country.
This quote is a little longer than the 75 word limit, but it represents a very small percentage of Caddell's comments and sums up his argument:
The press’s job is to stand in the ramparts and protect the liberty and freedom of all of us from a government and from organized governmental power. When they desert those ramparts and decide that they will now become active participants, that their job is not simply to tell you who you may vote for, and who you may not, but, worse—and this is the danger of the last two weeks—what truth that you may know, as an American, and what truth you are not allowed to know, they have, then, made themselves a fundamental threat to the democracy, and, in my opinion, made themselves the enemy of the American people.
