"We must prepare to apologize to Emilio Fede. We have always portrayed him as a bootlicker, indeed as the archetype of this jester fauna, with the aggravating circumstance of joy. Often the bootlickers, after licking, and when the master does not see them, make a disgusted face and become mischievous. Faith does not. Having fulfilled the need, he smiles and is ecstatic about it, like a joyful goose. But I fear that in a little while we will have to change our minds about him, regret his speeches and hold them up as a model of objectivity. (Indro Montanelli)"
