To paraphrase Pilger's last sentence, "Wow, what a ...... (word that rhymes with banker)."

OK ... Graham Young will probably hate me for the above comment but sheesh it's about time that someone wrote an article titled "Why John Pilger is a con". I'm sure that it could be easily researched. As for this article, it's nothing more than sanctimonious twaddle.

Poor Mr Pilger,

The guy is even pissed off watching a great film like The Deer Hunter.

I wonder what he does to wind down if going to the movies is also so traumatic for him.

I was in the US army during WW2. I remain proud of it.

It looks like I'm in the minority, but I think the article is an excellent commentary on the American action film genre. Go John!

He resembles one of those saints who like to flagellate themselves and everybody else all the time for all the sins of the world, whilst venting his wrath about all that is bad and simultaneously spitting streams of bile from the corners of his grimacing mouth.

Maybe when he dies he will be able to cure our cancers if we behave as he has advised, and he will become Australia's next saint after MacKillop.

Come to think of it, we could ask Pell to organise for him to become Pope as soon as Benny drops off the papal perch, then Johnny P could get a fair swathe of the world's population behaving properly right here and now by simply announcing infallible dogmas from the Vatican pulpit.
