"What does America think of Australia, Daddy?" asked the curious child. "I need to know. I need reassurance. I need credibility in the eyes of my fellow empire-builders. I want to be told that we need more tanks and bombs and bombers. I need to be reassured that George W. Bush likes what we're doing, approves of every move and encourages even stronger relations. I want to be told that the noble missions in Iraq and Afghanistan are indeed noble and right. Where can I find some answers, Daddy?"
"Son, Rupert Murdoch has all the answers. Sit tight, grab a warm beverage, and relax."

Journalism, indeed.
I was waiting for mention of the benefits of chemical weapons. SEE MY NEW BLOG "gigilo pete" TO FIND OUT).
But I am sadly disappointed.
Jeeez, let me explain.
The Pilger interview was very long, the paper cut it down, and that was published. That interview section in the paper is supposed to be a casual chat, no more, no less.
Sheridan is a paid-up member of the propaganda class.
Is there an echo in here? Hey DBO, do you know your new missus was at my place last night?
