   • 2015 November 7, “Opinión”, in El País‎:

     Imagino que para no herir la sensibilidad del espectador (los informativos recurren a ello sistemáticamente, especialmente en Telecinco, que presta cívica y concienciada actitud a la crónica de sucesos espeluznantes, y líbreme el Señor de pensar que son conscientes de que el morbo genera tanta audiencia como otras diversificadas basuras) han pixelado la imagen del ser humano al que están lapidando.
