Gundermann Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Fearless investigative journalist. Famously reported from the front lines in Vietnam. Most journos these days just seem to rehash political parties' press releases, not Pilger. https://www.itv.com/news/2023-12-31/australian-journalist-and-documentary-filmmaker-john-pilger-dies-aged-84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Palast is a ledge though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Massive respect for John Pilger for never towing the line and always reporting the truth. Rest in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 More recently a big supporter of Russia denying its responsibility for terrorist acts and its proxies in places like Syria. Perhaps just that error that comes from hating the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His CV still impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I used to read a fair bit of his stuff but his later works became a bit preachy and verging on conspiracy theories. Great journalist in his prime though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
