    Allright James? Theres been a lot of looking and no replies. I was doing a paper recently and had to dust off my copy of Pilger's Hidden Agendas. If I was to categorize what he has to say, I'd put him in with the Critical Studies lot. A good writer but I can't help thinking how he is only able to put his name to his argument, get published etc because he lives in the society he is so critical of. Like I said, a good read and if you're into his argument may I suggest some Chomsky, Blakeley or Newman?

    duuuuh- just realised James is long gone. Anyone else interested in what Pilger has to say?

    John Pilger is excellent. I have "Heroes" and "Hidden Agenda" and they are first-class. A fine journalist.
