Prize Winning Journalist Chris Hedges Says USA Should Expect a Revolution
“If you’re a journalist, you manipulate facts,” says renegade reporter Chris Hedges at the start of this illuminating Vice interview. “I did it for a living.”
Hedges is an award-winning reporter who spent years in war zones as a foreign correspondent for the New York Times. He now writes political books in addition to a weekly column for Truthdig.com, and he continues to support the work of many activist groups (“I’m surrounded by all these people with piercings and tattoos,” Hedges grins. “That’s where I get my energy from. I think they’re great”).
Chris Hedges is known for his refreshingly honest and intelligent analysis of the world. He’s a self-proclaimed anti-Capitalist who was heavily involved in the 2011 Occupy movement. In this interview with Vice Canada, included below, Hedges claims the movement was “heavily infiltrated by the authorities,” as many activists suspected at the time. “That’s not even a question,” Hedges replies with a wave of the hand.
He also discusses the corporate press and laments the death of mainstream investigative journalism of the kind that brought Watergate to the public’s knowledge. Those days are gone, Hedges says, pointing out that corporate shareholders and advertisers dictate news content and angles to such an extent that they have killed real news-gathering.
