Robert Fisk

Robert Fisk is a well-known journalist who writes for The Independent. Fisk has been doing work as the Middle East correspondent for over 40 years. In an interview in 1998 with Matthew Rothschild, he said, "U.S. journalists I don't think are very courageous. They tend to go along with the government's policy domestically and internationally. To question is seen as being unpatriotic, or potentially subversive." His most recent post is a perfect example of Fisk’s nature to go against the grain. In the article, he questions the sanity of President Donald Trump, while critiquing other leaders within the Middle East. His writing is entertaining and at times contains sarcasm.  [1 image, 2 links, 1 quotation, 109 words]
