Talk:John Pilger

Cut from intro:

responsible for influential documentary films on Cambodia and East Timor. He

Don't use favorable words like influential for one-sided propaganda, unless of course they actually swayed people significantly. I thought Pilger was obscure, unlike Gore, whose one-sided An Inconvenient Truth has had some actual influence.

Also, if we mention his documentaries at all, we should talk about how one-sided they are. For example, he criticizes the U.S. for an "embargo" and for bombings, in a way that implies that the deaths of the millions of civilians murdered by the Cambodian and Vietnamese governments were somehow America's fault.

Please be careful when writing about partisans. Do not give any impression of impartiality or objectivity. This caution should be added to the CP guidelines. --Ed Poor ^Talk 13:25, 31 August 2007 (EDT)
