He has been a one man juggernaut against the Bush-Blair propaganda apparatus; always incisive and honest. His only failing has been his overly sympathetic coverage of the Lebanese government and its fascist allies. I believe his closeness to Hariri and his subsequent murder affects his coverage. Other than that, he still remains the finest in my view.

Pity the Nation is indeed a classic.

In the final analysis the most important thing to ask about a journalist who covers a particular area of the world is do they show respect and concern for the well being and the future of the people on whom they report?I think Fisk does and maybe I’m a bit simple but that’s good enough for me.
