De-Press-ing

 Baudelaire, writing in 1863. For 'newspaper' read all the invasive means of communication of the Digital Age:

"Every newspaper, from the first line to the last, is nothing but a web of horrors. War, crime, rapine, shamelessness, torture, the crimes of princes, the crimes of nations, the crimes of individuals, a delirium of universal atrocity. And it is with this revolting aperitif that the civilized man starts his morning meal every day....I cannot comprehend how clean hands could touch a newspaper without a convulsion of disgust."
