Arnette was Canadian if I recall correctly and very anti-American esp. re our efforts to stop communist aggression in Indochina. If he isn’t dead yet, pray it is hurried up.

Fisk was a leftist and probably a Marxist (check out “International Socialist Review” and see if he wrote for them (Trotskyite).

The other British anti-American journalist on the Left is John Pilger, who was very brave in his coverage of wars, etc., but he wasn’t pro-America or pro-Israel, or a serious opponent of the Iranian murderers.

I would find Pilger the most interesting foreign leftist journalist I would want to talk to.

In Vietnam, CBS journalists in I Corps were on the Marines “wish hit list” including Dan Rather, Morley Safer and Don Webster. How do I know, they told me so. Glad I didn’t run into these shits there.
