Quotes "Of course, not everybody’s going to agree on everything and nor should they. But unless we can agree that the sky outside is blue and the grass is green, we have no chance." "Do you know what? I think you will find that orthodoxies of all the established religions basically always go for us [women]. We always pay the price, the political price, the cultural price. Just look at what is happening in America." "When #MeToo exploded, there was that real anger; you know, just what is it about the fact that we have breasts and we have genitals that still appears to be a great big green go sign for half the population? I believe that everybody who engages in that behaviour needs to be held accountable." "One thing I really get annoyed with is this notion that journalists – in every film, every magazine article I see – must really get off on the adrenaline. It’s so wrong; it trivialises what we do." taken from an interview with The Guardian, 26 January 2025 "People don't understand that objectivity actually means pursuing the truth. But you get there by giving all sides a hearing, which doesn’t mean treating all sides equally—then you are an accomplice in these extreme situations." "There are some situations one simply cannot be neutral about, because when you are neutral you are an accomplice." taken from the Harvard Kennedy School, 18 June 2025 External links Category:Journalists from England Category:Living people
