Alexis de Tocqueville Quote

Quote from Alexis de Tocqueville,

"I am far from denying that newspapers in democratic countries
lead citizens to do very ill-considered things in common;
but without newspapers there would be hardly any common action at all.
So they mend many more ills than they cause."
