'McGurk and Company' to include Pilger in programme I don't now when this programme was planned but maybe the events in Palestine have caused some sort of editorial rethink at RTE. It was not so long ago that RTE were inventing excuses for not showing Pilger's work. Perhaps his 25-year old documentary 'Palestine is still the issue' has finally begun to register with mainstream pundits and programme makers given current events in Gaza. Either way it will be interesting to hear what Pilger has to say and as just as importantly, what McGurk has to say to him. |

Jump To Comment: 2 1Here's a link to that interview for anyone who'd like to hear it. It pre-dates the current Gaza debacle so sadly it doesnt reflect his views on that. In fact comment from Pilger is conspicuous in its absence, come to think of it. Nothing on his website and there hasn't been the usual NS column either. Hmmm.

Here's an easy link to RTE's page on "McGurk and company"

This broadcast is not up there yet but may appear in a day or two..who knows! ;-)
(Meanwhile you can preview Mcgurk's style by listening to him interviewing John Simpson, BBC Foreign Correspondent)
You'll need realplayer or something similar to listen to rte stuff like this. Here's a link to the cruft free version (Real alternative):
