John Pilger on the STATE of the UK Media 

It's a shame he bought into bogus19 and facemasks

@Sea of Cronos I'm sorry and I hate to say this but I don't recollect that

@@jameselliott8203 many educated people fell for it John is still one of the top remaining real journalists in the world since the sad passing of Robert Fisk Two young journalists worth tuning into currently are Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate 👍

@@seaofcronos675 He recently tweeted a very odd thing about China and their Zero Covid policy, which even (and that is a very big 'even') the BBC had to make themselves criticise in the mealy mouthed, snide way they do these things. The lesson is to never make heroes of anybody. Where they speak truth, applaud them, where they stray, do not applaud them and take to task on it. Pilger is allied to the left, which informs his thinking, he has done some brilliant journalism in the past, but is mortal. 95 per cent of the 'left' Liberal world completely swallowed the idea that a bureaucracy can control the epidemiology of virus spread. A million cynical, power hungry and authoritarian Liberals seized the moment and ran with it. Whether they knew why or what is another topic, but they took the opportunity. What is most sobering is the public's acceptance of this sudden departure into Bio-Security and acceleration of Technocracy when they would argue that on everything else these people are corrupt, evil, wrong, badly motivated, egotistical, etc. And too many comments on here are like children before a pop star - very dangerous.

Unless the powerful are committing genocide in an imperial war of conquest, of course. Then he's indistinguishable from every other amoral scumbag shill who will shamelessly lie for a few shekels and a wildly misplaced ego.

Most people are brainwashed idiots.

Netflix, deliveroo, reality TV, football and censorship and ridicule of people who have just caught on to what's been happening over time . That's how people ignore him.

@@duncans4186 - Especially the latter, the demonisation of dissenters, these days.

@@duncans4186 Can you think of a good example of someone who was ridiculed?

russians eating ukranian babies?, probably. thing is john, it's one sided because russia invaded ukraine, ukraine didn't invade russia

But rupert Murdoch wouldn't like that. 👹

They are out there but are being silenced by the legacy corporate media and villainized by those who have bought the narrative the WEF, Globalist, NATO and EU elites posing as the left are selling them. Even when all the evidence against their recently altered opinion and position on things such as the Neo Nazi Nationalist Extremist Azov Battalion slaughtering ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine was in the MSM headlines and Ukraine was too corrupt to ever become part f the EU and would never be allowed in NATO to now after sending the CIA, foreign services and state departments Victory Nuland to overthrow the government after having young agents posing as working for NGO's in Kiev to influence the younger generation to rise in the color revolutions and overthrow the elected government that wouldn't bow down to the Obama, Biden, Clinton democrats allowing the USA and the EU control their government and take over the oil & gas from the Oligarchs and install military bases armed with Nuclear missiles. The real problem isn't that there are no ethical journalists, it's actually that MSM pays journalists more money, promises fame and a career on prime-time TV that is largely owned by the very corporations and elite that elects and controls government, the FBI, CIA, NSA and installs their people within the media to give them the talking points and propaganda they want pushed on the people to disguise the truth and their real agenda. The other problem is those same powers are also in control of social media and are using all these tools to influence the public which includes who gets elected to who gets a voice or gets banned, canceled, goes missing, goes to jail, can't return to America, gets defamed, outcast as a racist or is transphobic. We just have to dig deeper to source out the truth and debunk the lies and propaganda being spewed out to the masses. The most recent Twitter reveals were shocking, watch Jimmy Dore's RU-vid with Jeffrey Sachs as a guest, it's unbelievable what was going on before the 2020 election and since really.

And fewer like Kuenssberg.

Unfortunately to many so called journalists are more attracted to money than the truth.

As he said himself, you won't get them.

@Flat Eric She’s a mouthpiece and stenographer for state propaganda.

A beacon that is fizzling out...

Most certainly

RU-vid courage 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I wish he say more on the propaganda proping Ukraine up and the UK US involvement in starting it

Your comment in itself should be a less than subtle warning of just how dangerous the media has become that it takes courage to put a world-class, highly respected, seasoned journalist in the past 6 decades on a RU-vid video as a guest. Not only does it make a statement about RU-vid but on a larger scale the type of world we live now that we have to fear speaking the truth or expressing our views. When the richest, most advanced 1st world countries have reached the point unanimously that free speech is being suppressed, censored and forbidden at a level the McCarthyist's and Nazis would envy we are no longer living in a democracy nor have such rights as freedom of speech, religion, and soon will be under something worse than communist China or the former USSR controlled by the WEF, NATO, EU and the Globalists of the deep state which to me seem to b one and the same.

Comrade Pilger if you don't mind!

In the kremlin!

Yes ! Lot's of journalists getting accused of working for Putin !! Usually the ones telling the truth !

@@MadderMel Pilger is not a real journalist he has always been an activist who goes out with an agenda.

He is a true journalist who tells the truth unlike the filth now.looking for click bate rubbish with zero facts about anything.

I have read all of his books as well. I first discovered them by chance in my local library and been hooked on his works ever since. What a man. If only all journalists were like him. We would have a far better understanding of the world.

@@missrockafella9432 I think we would have a better world.

@@missrockafella9432 How so ?

@@davidlamb7524 He tells the unvarnished truth about so many important matters.

@@missrockafella9432 Sorry I meant that for Barry.

True now more than ever

totally true, more journalists like this are not only needed but essential

Perhaps we should see (unfortunately) continuing colonial imperial wars vs. China, Russia, + all independent countries by Western corporate capitalist coalition empire--- amazing---England + Frances 2 Opium Wars vs. China, 1840 + 60?, France lead by Napoleon vs. Russia in early 1800s. W empires still going after Chin + Russia, & rest of world--- 200 years vs. Russia, 100+ years vs. China. Western empires are dangerous!!! Also, you appear to be from Efik? in Cross River Iranianrelated River states in Nigeria? (Those peoples ceremony music, songs, dances---ireme, etc. continue in Cuba as Abakwa Society (but social dances were lost. Yes, youtube has some videos of Abakwa performances, + of course current Nigerian versions--- very interesting on both sides of Atlantic)

Bollox.

@@paulwally9007 🤔

@@paulwally9007Crikey! Heads up Mr Pilger as Paul Wally is clearly intending to compete with your bravery and literacy.

@@peterdelmonte9832 If he'd actually lived in Russia or China for any considerable length of time I'd be more inclined to listen to his opinions. 'The Coming War on China' is absurd -if you spoke Chinese you'd know the CCP has been acclimatising its populace for a war with the West for at least a decade, whilst joining international organisations like the WTO and WHO and pretending to be a responsible global stakeholder. This fool, like Chomsky, subjects the US to a brutal scrutiny which he offers no other regime.

Too right. The US war machine does not appreciate having its more nefarious deeds exposed. It's the kicked dog that howls.

Same here. I wonder why... 🤔 (Green Fire, UK) 🌈🦉

There not even reporters they are repeaters

Parrots mistaken for patriots by the gullible and brainwashed population of England.

I get the impression this channel is trying to build the next generation of honest journalists with ethics and ethos in what they do, like Matt Kennard, Claire Provost and others.. I hope so because right now the corporate world has walked all over weak kneed politicians, or those on the take like Tony Blair… they should do a investigative story on him..

Don't forget to #freestevendonziger, or however spelt, while you're all at it!

@@reforest4fertility he is free tho now right? I thought his house arrest is finished?

@@harriet4564 Yeah, after writing I clicked on my own hashtag, if only to see I got his name spelt wrighte. Maybe not quite this free, but yeah, yay! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ODIvONHPqpk.html

Telling the truth is not a good career move

Agree 100 percent. Long may he run.

Nobody's listening to him. Look at the farking state of the world now... waste of time and energy. Remember that man is a fallen creature.

I second that!

“Maxwell” was not a Maxwell - that’s the first clue.

@@sciagurrato1831 And th eGuardian is the second...it is just a woke magazine these days, I stopped reading it a long time ago, what a shame.

@@johnlesoudeur3653 off-guardian (unrelated) is definitely more worthy of the time.

Larry, I had the same experience! And I haven't stopped telling people about that whole story since, and the fact that the Queen signed off on it is appaling. I'm sure you watched the accompanying documentary, which was superb.

@@sciagurrato1831 Thanks for that, will check it out.

Thats awesome, sir. Was it a pleasant encounter and chat?

bread?!!!! Surely breed, or are some of us the only ones able to speak English properly? Mr Pilger, who I respect, actually said "bombing of Kissinger and Nixon"! Surely it is by not of? Or did I miss the news that they were hit by their own results of bombing? Very disappointing level of questioning sadly.

I agree, my respect for Peter Osborne continues to grow.

@@Areflection4 Oborne, not Osborne.

Well put, brother. He sees life as it is, and how it should be.

Wow, great to know he's been informing minds of dark realities since that far back.
