Eller som John Pilger så fint uttrycker det:

Secretive power loathes journalists who do their job: who push back screens, peer behind façades, lift rocks. Opprobrium from on high is their badge of honour.When the BBC refused to show James Cameron’s filmed report from wartime North Vietnam, Cameron said, ‘They whispered that I was a dupe, but what really upset them was that I was not their dupe.’
In these days of corporate ‘multimedia’ run by a powerful few in thrall to profit,many journalists are part of a propaganda apparatus without even consciously realising it. Power rewards their collusion with faint recognition: a place at the table, perhaps even a Companion of the British Empire. At their most supine, they are spokesmen of the spokesmen, debriefers of the briefers, what the French call functionnaires. It is the honourable exceptions who are celebrated here, men and women whose disrespect for authoritarianism has allowed them to alert their readers to vital, hidden truths.
