I remember when this excellent John Pilger film was released, and John was mysteriously invited (unheard of for mainstream media here in Oz) for an interview on ABC Canberra 666 morning radio. The "presenter" Genevieve Jacobs proceeded in attacking the film from a typically provided set of talking points, but was derailed by one simple question, "have you seen the film ?". Of course she hadn't. Even more astonishing was that this exchange was actually covered somewhat fairly by Media Watch (ABC TV)

It's disgusting that the lowlife media we have here now in Oz instantly sneer at the mention of Pilger's name, similar to the treatment now received by Assange.
