* Media lies and war


John Pilger, award winning investigative journalist, war correspondent, film maker, playwright.

Right after 9/11, when I became interested in learning more about U.S. foreign affairs, I  noticed John Pilger's articles, books and films. He's an Australian, but based in London. Not only has he won Britain's Journalist of the year (twice), and other awards in the UK and the US, but this Thursday, he'll be awarded with the Sidney Peace Prize. 


He is not afraid to ask the difficult questions most American journalists steer away from. One of his most recent articles is definitely worth a read. It concerns media lies and is titled: "The lying game: how we are prepared for another war of aggression."
