"Like the court gazettes in Europe, these papers posed no challenge to authority; they primarily chronicled events across the Atlantic but provided little information about developments at home, much less any critical discussion of politics. Monopoly newspapers had little incentive to do otherwise; in each case, the publisher was either a postmaster or a government printer and therefore dependent on the authorities for his livelihood" [Starr p 56] [See Network Neutrality]
