Worth Remembering: C. P. Scott

[Tim Gratz]

Scott was editor of the Manchester Guardian.

Scott was a Brit not a Scot. He was from Somerset.

A famous Scott quote we should all keep in mind: "Comment is free but facts are sacred."

Scott is one of my heroes. He was of course a long-term campaigner against war and injustice.

From his biography I suspected you would be a fan of his.

This reminds me very much of the quote by ??? that everyone is entitled to his opinion but no one is entitled to his own facts.

Hi Tim:

I believe this particular quote is attributed to Daniel Patrick Moynihan.

FWIW
