So is the remark that when commentators challenged his accuracy or probity, they'd get a libel threat? Isn't that what people do when others are saying to the wider world that Pilger is guilty of lying.? And they all kept quiet? So much for their charges. And we have, in all those years of his work, just that one successful case against him?
To the writer, it matters not whether what Pilger said was right or wrong, but merely if it offended his/her own personal opinion or the opinion of his employer. Privatisation of S Africa's state assets, the Uncle Tom charge against Obama - Pilger's allowed to say these things and many many people would agree with him. It is not a useful or relevant charge against Pilger's journalism.
So at times he stayed at expensive hotels and had some personal vanities. Goodness me, how damning. This is one long miserable ad hominem from a worthless hack Murdoch puppet - the writer should be put out to grass like his boss.
