John Pilger is good value, one of the best living commentators on our times (except if you are a right-wing conservative who never steps outside
mainstream TV and has never heard of him). Interesting times indeed.
Pilger & Fisk on Iraq Coverage: The Real Danger Lies Within
by G�rill Hus and Guri Wiggen
OSLO - If the reality in Iraq is one thing and the reporting of it remains another, it is because much of the media wants it that way, say two leading
journalists who have been reporting the 'other' side of the Iraq story.
The level of self-censorship in the media has risen not just during the Iraq war but also since 9/11, says Robert Fisk from The Independent newspaper
published in Britain and John Pilger, Australian broadcaster and film-maker........
........ Pilger sees reason for optimism. �There is a movement of resistance globally from the landless peoples movement in Brazil to the huge
anti-war movement,� he says. �Nothing like this has ever happened before in my lifetime.� The superpower in Washington is being challenged by the
other superpower, he says; the superpower of public opinion.
