• No es malvado. Morón, que no es lo mismo. El mal presupone una decisión moral, intención y cierta previsión. Un imbécil o un patán, sin embargo, no se para a pensar ni a razonar. Actúa por instinto, como un animal estable, convencido de que está haciendo el bien, de que siempre tiene razón, y santurronamente orgulloso de ir por ahí jodiendo... a cualquiera que perciba como diferente a él, ya sea por el color de su piel, su credo, su lengua, su nacionalidad o... sus hábitos de ocio. Lo que el mundo necesita es más gente completamente malvada y menos cabezas de chorlito.

  Carlos Ruiz Zafón

• You don't really want an army of people making individual decisions.

• Debería ser evidente que la creencia en la objetividad en el periodismo, como en otras profesiones, no es sólo una afirmación sobre qué tipo de conocimiento es fiable. Es también una filosofía moral, una declaración sobre el tipo de pensamiento que uno debe adoptar a la hora de tomar decisiones morales. Es, además, un compromiso político, porque proporciona una guía sobre qué grupos uno debe reconocer como audiencias relevantes para juzgar los propios pensamientos y actos.
