...Radio Free Europe and radio Liberty are not the only flagrant U.S. broadcasting propagandist networks. They are only the most successful ones. Radio Free Asia failed because there were not enough anti-Maoists, and no one in Southeast Asia could conceive that a network of that title could possibly support the French against the Viet Minh.

Both the history and language of the amendment support the view that the press must be left free to publish news, whatever the source, with out censorship, injunctions or prior restraints...
