I believe what he says (below) is often the case - well, if you leave out the word only from his statements and add sometimes or often. Oups, are we getting into taboo territory here :-[
Government only purpose is to protect the Government. Church only purpose is to protect the Church. The press only purpose is to protect their money. All organizations care about themselves more than of the truth.
