My feeling about the Internet or anything else is that the more it tends to become a cult, the more I want to call it into question.

Whether or not Twitter makes you stupid, it certainly makes some smart people sound stupid.

Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, has on several occasions talked about transparency as an absolute principle. I don't personally believe that.

You don't want to go around willy-nilly suing news organizations. That's probably self-defeating.

Liberation movements - operating surreptitiously and conspiratorially - thrive on discipline and suspicion, and punish deviation or dissent.

The curse of a journalist is that he always has more questions than answers.

I make a joke that I'm the Internet curmudgeon, but 'wary' is a good way to put it.
