John Conyers actually said...

"What we are talking about here is democracy. We want the people to be able to get information."

"This is an important issue. And what we will begin to look at, as this examination of what to do with newspapers in crisis continues, is the exact nature of the crisis."

"Since the founding of our country, newspapers have been a cornerstone of our democracy."

"I am glad to know that. I am not, but I think I am going to get more familiar with them."
