Matt Kennard is the best British journalist. He is a legend. He is the British Max Blumenthal. It is such a shame Declassified UK doesn't have much followers. Let's hope we will have more moral journalists like him in this country.

Matt's father is artist Peter Kennard. A brilliant political artist. If you don't know of him, check him out. He must be so proud of you Matt. You're doing great things.

Andrew Marr took umbrage at Chomsky during a BBC interview and asked him if he was suggesting that he (Marr) was a biased journalist. Chomsky famously replied, "I'm saying that if you thought in any other way, then you wouldn't be sitting there."
