New John Pilger on telly tonight.

[eFestivals]

I nearly wet myself last night when watching Pilger interview Assange.

P (paraphrased): "do you have any problems with Britain and its Offical Secrets Act?

A (paraphrased): No. The Official Secrets Act says that we cannot retain or destroy any classified info that comes into our hands. So the obvious conclusion from that is that is that we MUST publish it.

Did anyone else find themselves singing Black Sabbath's 'War Pigs' after the documentary?

I've still not worked out whether Im more angry at the true details of the war or the 'free' media's complicity in hiding it from us or the democratic governments' (plural) decision to hide it in the first place or the ineffectiveness of democratic systems to hold the executive to account

This is a crowd who put XFactor on at prime time every f**king night, but won't show a very important and well made documentary - important - backed up by fact, at a reasonable time.

[t8yman]

The most important conclusion i take from the things I have read in recent weeks is how toothless the vast mojority of the journos are. People claiming "we just did as we were told" "we reported what we were told to report"

assange is the embodiment of what the journalist should be, and he is being demonised by the mainstream media. oh the irony.

Its more specific than that. Journos aren't doing their job, they're merely reporting what government agencies are saying and not challenging anything, no investigating, bowing to fear tactics as they might be "frozen out" etc.

Which means that they're the actors performing to the director's instruction, just as Baudrillard had it. The producer being vested western interest and the consumer being the western television audience.

Does anyone know where I can watch this?

They're calling for the death penalty in America for him!!

They're calling for the death penalty in America for him!!

The irony of those doing that is completely lost on the people doing that.

America - the land of the free.

[worm]

because the people with power dont want a free press, they are dressing him up as some terrorist, or cyber-terrorist, and demonising him.

The Bible waving halfwits who believe the world is 4000 years old, yet will happily condemn someone to death based on DNA evidence, which proves beyond all doubt that the world is not 4000 years old.

[The Nal]

I thought it was 6000. Which makes much more sense. 4000 would just be ridiculous

Sorry you're right, Adam and Eve were 400BC weren't they? Jesus....err.....God........Christ........ damn I feel stupid.

Some creationists believe that dinosaurs coexisted with man. Some also believe that dinosaurs are still alive on earth.

No thats whats left of Sam Neill's career you're thinking of.

[The Nal]

He delivered his best performance in Event Horizon. I hadn't realised it was filmed in some valley in Africa.

[worm]

You must not have paid attention.

Only good thing about the movie was Funky Shit by the Prodigy.

[The Nal]

Ahhhhhh, you're stupid. Sorry, I hadn't realised. As you were.....
