Favourite Journalist

[ILIKECANDLES]

Robert Fisk for me. Honest, fearless and doesn't work for Murdoch. Who's yours?

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Andrew Rawnsley. Tells it like it is.

Andrew Rawnsley. Tells it like it is.

Another good choice.

Paul Fletcher off the BBC website does pretty decent and varied articles.

 

[Albion Rob]

Richard Gladstone, Hastings Observer. In a piece which touched on popular childrens' game Connect 4, he devoted half the article to explaining the rules of said game.

Closely followed by Richard Morris, same organ.

On a national level, I like Chris Blackhurst of the Standard and John Vidal from the Guardian.

 

[Helter]

Richard little john. No PC nonsense.

 

[vegster]

Martin Samuel is a very good journo, unfortunately he moved to The Daily Snail a little while ago and I can't read his columns now on principle.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

I'm not sure he really counts as a journalist anymore, being a newsreader, but I love me some Jon Snow.

 

[ILIKECANDLES]

Richard little john. No PC nonsense.

Are you being serious??

 

[Fitzcarraldo]

How Richard Littlejohn gets through life filled with patriotic nostalgia and simmering with anger at everything around him boggles the mind.

 

[keaton]

Richard little john. No PC nonsense.

Actually all Richard Littlejohn writes is PC nonsense

I think Robert Fisk's probably the best for news, I like Ben Goldacres' Bad Science stuff a lot

 

[Pavilionaire]

Martin Samuel. He always sees the bigger picture and yet never misses the little details. I also like Paul Hayward.

 

[The Large One]

John Pilger

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

The late Hunter S Thompson.

'The Great Shark Hunt' should be made required reading for anybody with even a passing interest in journalism. Oh, and drugs and/or violence and/or firearms also. Obviously.

 

[Scotty Mac]

patrick barclay usually always hits the sport, and i like reading matt syed's stuff as well

 

[albionalex]

Henry Winter.

 

[Hunting 784561]

Littlejohn just writes nonsense. Full stop.

 

[Durlston]

Steve Palmer in the Racing Post.

Has me in stitches with some of his tales. Being woken up and convinced he was being burgled at 3am when his TV suddenly came on at full volume and went armed with a golf club to see what was going on.

 

[1959]

How Richard Littlejohn gets through life filled with patriotic nostalgia and simmering with anger at everything around him boggles the mind.

Especially considering that he spends most of his life in Florida.
