On newspapers, by Gen. Robert E. Lee, 1863

""It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command forces, and our most gifted and brilliant to edit newspapers.

• In fact, I discovered by reading newspapers that these editor/geniuses plainly saw all my strategic defects from the start, yet failed to inform me until it was too late.

Accordingly, I am readily willing to yield my command to these obviously superior intellects, and I will, in turn, do my best for the Cause by writing editorials - after the fact."

• - Robert E. Lee, 1863"
