Christopher Hitchens on Journalism and Media Bias (1983 - Part 4)

[jimmbo13]

Does he keep calling Brian Lamb, David, as he has now done twice.

I think I remember Brian kidding him about this when the two watched the footage 27 years later.

On a side note, Brian Lamb is such a great host for Hitchens, compared to others like CHarlie Rose, who interrupt a tad too much

[benehan]

Its remarkable that Hitchens managed to become a popular figure when he seems to have told a significant proportion of Americans and Brits that they are straight up wrong

[lafontaine13]

his mind is sharp...even as a young man

Does it appear to anyone else that Hitch is drinking wine (or something definitely not coffee haha) and doodling while the idiots babble?

He's the fucking man.

all the republicans just do what their corporate interests tell them to do, and so do the dems but there is a small portion of the DEMOCRATS that actually look to help everyday Americans. They are 'radical' leftist though--:O omg! Watch out, they'll gonna come and take your guns!! AHHHHHH

[disqotube]

this stops just as hitchens gets warmed up to be brilliant. :(

[Mujangga]

"What foreign policy is like at the bayonnette point." and "They knew it was coming, it's you who didn't know."

Point, set and match.

wow things have really changed so much today. liberals are stupid, and right wing conservative fucktards are dumber than ever.

[v19d]

America originally wasn't asked to invade Grenada. It was the British because Grenada is a member of the British commonwealth

[christo930]

Today, liberal means that you love the government, especially when the democrats are in office. No skepticism there. The right wing press does the same thing, only they love the republicans. But they ALL love big government. Today, you are a radical if you are skeptical of the gov.

8:37 ahaha scotch even in 1983 oh we love you hitch

[SmelOdies]

@Photosareawesome Indeed, look it up.

[fomastephanovitch]

Liberal publications aren't sceptical anymore that's for sure!

[nemirn]

The caller's voice is so clear... nice reception.

I wonder why.

Oh, it's the tin foil hat he's wearing.

[ryanlk]

@nemirn stop being a conspiracy theorist, this is news/information that the average american will never watch or care about and that is why no major corporation has to worry about it!!!!!!!

[nurbSoldier]

@ryanlk you miss the point entirely when you say something like that. The point is not whether something is a conspiracy theory, but whether it is true. You reveal your cowardice when you show your disdain for it.

[SmelOdies]

Caller at 10:10 ruefully says we shouldn't compare out small operation in Grenada to Afghanistan. I wonder how she would compare our small operation in Afghanistan to Afghanistan.

[MinisterAilingTongue]

@SmelOdies It's hardly a small operation.

Somebody had flagged your post as spam. I didn't think it was spam.

[SmelOdies]

@MinisterAilingTongue Heheh, although I forgot making it, I didn't think it was either.

As for "small operation," I was being ironical.
