    Yeah nah, he’s fucking irrelevant in Australia. Looking at his history he’s won multiple BAFTAs and British Press Awards and but not one Walkley?

    Now someone like Michael West is an Australian journalist, and too boot he’s not a piece of shit fascist supporter like this Pilger cunt was who spent 3/4 of his life living in Britain was.

      It’s really sad seeing how far you’ll go to justify your ignorance. In your mind you don’t need to know something because you don’t know it and you justify that ignorance by weighing your lack of knowledge against some arbitrary value judgement where some other information you pretend to know outvalues what you don’t - that’s some incredible armchair expertise. You proudly and loudly assert your valid reasons for being ignorant, that’s fascism thinking personified. How small-minded. I sympathise with anyone who has to deal with you in discussion - what a chore it must be.
