If we [il Giornale] are the newspaper of Forza Italia, la Repubblica is the newspaper of the DS. - Maurizio Belpietro

(About Sandro Bondi) He courageously said that Forza Italia must not become a party of membership cards. That people should not think in terms of factions but in a big way, like Berlusconi. Bondi was publicly mocked by Scajola for that courageous interview.

For me, a journalist is someone who seeks out news, not someone who has been handed a burgundy leather badge despite never having found a single news story in their life.

Per me il giornalista è colui che cerca la notizia e non chi ha ricevuto un patentino di pelle bordeaux nonostante una notizia in vita sua non l'abbia mai trovata.
