John Pilger 2

Onder de titel 'Een Nieuws Revolutie is Begonnen' heeft de onderzoeksjournalist John Pilger net een interessant artikel geschreven over de wijze waarop het internet commerciele kranten en zelfs publieke omroepen geleidelijk aan overbodig maakt. 'The Indian writer Vandana Shiva has called for an "insurrection of subjugated knowledge." The insurrection is well under way. In trying to make sense of a dangerous world, millions of people are turning away from the traditional sources of news and information and to the World Wide Web, convinced that mainstream journalism is the voice of rampant power. The great scandal of Iraq has accelerated this. In the United States, several senior broadcasters have confessed that had they challenged and exposed the lies told about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, instead of amplifying and justifying them, the invasion might not have happened.'
