Back then my sanity was preserved primarily by Bremner, B&F, Pilger, Galloway and,yes, Democracy Now and the vast array of authors/writers/activists/academics who effortlessly stated the bloody obvious truth - usually without the belly laughs. That's our feckless media for ya - they put(or used to) the obvious truth primarily in the mouths of "comedians"..or depict it only in newspaper cartoons - because hey - it's just for laughs..they're just comedians not serious geopolitical experts like Bush, Blair, Paxman, Kirsty Wark,Jon Snow..(etc etc ad nauseam et infinitum.) There was a dissenting(Iraq etc) comedian duo with their own show on Radio 2(no really) back then too - but their names escape me..
