È un inglese che siamo orgogliosi di far riposare sotto la rugiada irlandese. Era un reporter di guerra che odiava il “giornalismo alberghiero” (cimitero di Kilternan, Dublino)

The man who got me interested in geo-politics and political science. Journalism needs more Robert Fisks.

That has blown me away .
I knew he went to Trinity but never thought he was buried here .
I remember him saying that when NATO got away with bombing Yugoslavia against a UN resolution it paved the way for Bush and Blair to do similar while today we see Netanyahu continue to blatantly disregard international law.
Oh wow! Didn’t know he was buried here! Any particular reason?

I quite liked Fisk’s books although you needed to read it with his political slant in view. I didn’t agree with everything he wrote, sometimes he got it wrong, but in a world where most of the media was presenting one viewpoint as “the truth” his alternative voice was a voice of dissent which was needed.
