Member-only story
I’ve posted this video before, but felt the need to repost it in order to pay my respects to one of the few REAL, Investigative Journalists of my time. Rest in Power, Mr. Pilger, the world is better for your having been in it.
“Palestine Is Still The Issue” was a Carlton Television production for ITV first broadcast on ITV1, 16 September 2002 — my, how times haven’t changed, right?
In all these forms the aim should be to find out as many facts and as much of the truth as possible. There’s no mystery. Yes, we all bring a personal perspective to work; that’s our human right. Mine is to be skeptical of those who seek to control us, indeed of all authority that isn’t accountable, and not to accept “official truths”, which are often lies. Journalism is or ought to be the agent of people, not power: the view from the ground.
