“Criticism is constructive not tattling. Freedom of the press, is not anybody writing anything about anybody. One must write while respecting the facts, even when they are less exciting than the fantasy of those who chose to criticize just to criticize.”

Mohammed VI of Morocco (1963) King of Morocco

Original French: La critique est constructive, pas la délation. La liberté de la presse, ce n’est pas que n’importe qui écrive n’importe quoi sur n’importe qui. Il faut écrire en respectant les faits même quand ils sont moins excitants que le fantasme de ceux qui ont choisi de critiquer pour critiquer.
