week the controversy over the
Pentagon Papers can't he
understood unless it is looked
a in the larger context of the
increased criticism of the press.
Speaking in the Nebraska
Union ballroom to a meeting
of Pi Sigma Alpha, Professional
Political Science Society,
Farney said the incident was
part of the current question of
how much power the press
really has.

press a political issue. -Farney

the Nixon administration has
continued to do this because it
seems to reinforce an already
existing public climate of
questioning the credibility of
the press."
Farney told the crowd that
former Presidential advisor Pat
Moynihan, another critic of
today's press, said the typical
person entering jjounalism
today is an elitist who wishes
io erode the President's status
by criticism.
According to Farney,
Moynihan argues that because
today's young journalists hold
philosophies which are usually
at war with the middle class,
they make it hard for the
President to carry out his
policies.

FARNEY SAID since the
criticism from Moynihan and
Vice Pres. Spiro Agnew, the
press has been changing the
way it covers news and now
relies more on unofficial
sources than official ones for
getting news.
"It is this tendency that is
bothering Moynihan." Farney
said. "The Pentagon Papers are
an example of this new
reporting style, and they
contradicted much of the
official optimistic reports on
the war under the Kennedy
and Johnson administrations."
Farney was asked if it

"I FEEL rr would have
been more arrogant for the
Times to have this information
and not publish it because it
was too hot to handle and the
people werent up to handling
it," he replied.
i believe the essential role
of a newspaperman is to
unearth as much information
as possible and get it into print,
and not worry about the
consequences," Farney said.
