Trouble is, Jefferson was so prolific a writer over so long
a time that you could support or damn just about any random
thought with a Jefferson quotation or two.

Jefferson writes from Paris to Edward Carrington, whom
Jefferson sent as a delegate to the Continental Congress
from 1786 to 1788, on the importance of a free press to keep
government in check. He concludes that if he had to choose
between “a government without newspapers or newspapers
without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to
prefer the latter”:
