"looks like a duck, quacks like a duck" - anyway, what's wrong with being a pedant? Or a sceptic, for that matter? Denier is getting derogatory, though. @Angus: So “incorrect and superfluous” is an oxymoron?

Ever seen his films on aboriginal dispossession? His trip with Charlie Perkins? The poverty and squalor he reported that has not changed in all the years since he did so? Ever see his film on East Timor showing successive Australian governments licking the Inondesians boots? Or his films on killing the children of Iraq, the war on democracy, his films on Vietnam and Cambodia? Ever read his books? Caroline Overington continues to deride Pilger too, except she has never read a word he has written so it is a bit strange that she should do so.
