Tell the truth?! Are you kidding? The truth doesn't generate ratings which in turn doesn't generate short term capital gains. Americans don't want to hear or care about truth, they only want to hear what they want to hear and nothing else. Just ask FOX News, they don't deal in truth, all they deal in is ratings and telling the people exactly what they want to hear to generate those ratings. Kinda like a KZread reaction video, you don't have to like the crap your reviewing, you just have to pretend you do. Propaganda is nothing but telling people what they want to hear. The truth is what they need to hear but not what they want to hear. You can't hear the truth when all you want to hear and believe is the propaganda. And that is American culture in a nut shell and that is why a network like FOX has the highest ratings. There just happens to be this thing in America called the alternative truth and that is what Fox deals in because that is what their viewers want.

I've been following John since I was a young lad in late 70s and distinctively remember his reporting from Cambodia and the atrocities committed by Khmer Rouge, then later in my late teans reading his work about the wider dirty war around Cambodia, the unholy alliances between US and China, using Cambodia as a sideshow. Then more recently his amazing doc on future war with China and how that was unlaid by colonial racism towards the Chinese. I recognise when I was young listening to Angela Rippon or Kenneth Kendall that the news was always one-sided but at least they just presented it in a factual way however tunnel focused it was. Now when I watch someone like Tom Bradby on News at Ten, I'm appalled at his constant personal narrative that accompanies the news. If that was a Jerry Springer monologue everyone would be up in arms, this brainwashing and spin on how to think is so disturbing.

You can find for example, BBC reports from 2014 about the rise of nazism that totally refute their present positions and bias. Basically you check every assertion now in western media because of a history of lying. As a rule of thumb in the current climate you can facetiously assume the opposite is true of what they assert.

Pilger has always been on the right side of history. Russia has always been on the right side of history also, since 1917...and even prior, on most occasions. I remember Pilger since the 80's studying at university..using him as reference to many arguments I put forward. There is that trust in him, that only honest people achieve deeply in the soul of other honest people. "What goes around comes around." Here we see John once again, honestly giving the facts and proper analysis .. just like he always did. The world would be so much poorer and nastier without people like John Pilger.

Love John Pilger!

Whether it be journalism, audio or video clips, the reporter's job is to tell the reader or viewer an honest story and to include, “Who, What, When, Where and Why”. To omit one or more elements constitutes opinion where the reporter can shape a story to fit a bias. Modern, corporate or government media, leaves the “Who, What, When, Where and Why” to the reader to ask or research for missing elements. This is how a story from the West and the East can be true, but are like night and day...
