How biased, I'm unsure? If you are Australian you need to read this book. Some of the things within will make you cry, make you ashamed and make you proud. Pilger is a first rate journalist. He believes a journalist ought to be a guardian of the public memory and often quotes Milan Kundera: "The struggle of people against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting." "It is too easy," he says, "for Western journalists to see humanity in terms of its usefulness to 'our' interests and to follow government agendas that ordain good and bad tyrants, worthy and unworthy victims and present 'our' policies as always benign when the opposite is usually true. It's the journalist's job, first of all, to look in the mirror of his own society." Read more about John Pilger at http://pilger.carlton.com/page.asp?partid=1 sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
