      It’s funny, everything in the article was verifiably true but because pro-Zionists criticize the source it got removed. Robert Fisk must be rolling in his grave.

      “It’s our job (as journalists) to challenge the centers of power, and to describe with our own vividness the tragedies and injustice and viciousness of the world, and to try and name the bad guys,” Fisk says in an interview in San Francisco. “American journalists won’t say what I can say. I think the New York Times should be called, ‘American officials say.’ At least, you’d know what you were reading. If journalism is about writing (stories) that look like government reports, then I’ll go and do gardening or something.”
