Robert Fisk and Thomas Friedman: I can see them as friends

Not only I have now become quite unhappy with his reporting, not only on Lebanon where he recycles Hariri propaganda slogans, but also for his inserting his heroic self in every story.  I have now difficulty even buying his stories, to be honest.  "My very own favourite, selfish and personal quotation came when my old friend Tom Friedman of The New York Times joined me for breakfast in Cairo with his usual disarming smile. "Fisky," he said, "this Egyptian came up to me in Tahrir Square yesterday, and asked me if I was Robert Fisk!" Now that's what I call a revolution."
