Pilger has a Pulitzer prize to his name and is one of the very few journalists with the guts and integrity to tell the truth as he sees it.

You put quotation marks around "one of the worst journalists writing in the English language". Who are you quoting? Yourself?

John Pilger has a vast body of extremely well referenced and cited journalism in his name, and is a legend in journalism.

Who the heck are you?
