top ten journalists of all time.
1. Malcolm Flash Gordon, sometimes called the hippie muckraker, who without financial backing and working alone from his apartment, unmasked boxing promoter Don King's institutionalised subversion of boxing and exploitation of boxers, as well as King's Cosa Nostra mafia connections and links to other criminal entities. In 1976 and 1977 Malcolm Gordon was instrumental in forcing the American television network ABC to cancel a televised tournament which King had rigged for the mob. He reached his public by printing his own news sheet called Tonight's Boxing Program on a copier in his apartment and sold it for 35 cents outside boxing venues.
2. Freddie Forsyth who in 1970 revealed the scale of the civil war and famine in Biafra, a breakaway State from Nigeria. Influential elements within the British Foreign Office and civil service establishment were attempting to suppress the truth on the matter in order to convince the public that British withdrawal from former colonies was proceeding successfully.
3. David Wood. A philosopher scholar who has played a key role in promoting public debate with Muslims and in breaking a worldwide conspiracy of silence as to the origins and history of the religion of Islam. His greatest achivement has been his role in encouraging Muslims themselves to examine and critically assess the basis of their faith.
4. Mark Steyn. A master of literary stylings and an insightful advocate on various issues. Has probably been a key figure in the breaking of at least three journalistic stories of global significance, to wit: The societal demographic death spiral created by contraception and abortion culture erasing what would have been our future generations; The Jihad threat to humanity as a whole; The manipulations and falsehoods underlying the actions of advocates of the reality of Climate Change... For his commentary and expositions on two of these stories, Jihad and Climate Change, Steyn has faced serial spurious legal actions intended to ruin him. Conversely these concerted attemtps to criminalise him through the courts have at times made Steyn bigger than the stories he was reporting. His own travails in these matters are at least as fascinating as the issues he's raised. They remain largely unreported in the West which gentle travellers of the internet, is why Western media groups are bankrupt.
5. Sean Hannity. A broadcaster with Fox News who spoke out in an attempt to prevent the judicial murder of Terri Schiavo by her husband Michael in the year 2005. Michael Shchiavo used the courts to have food and water withdrawn from his hospitalised wife, falsely claiming that she was brain dead. The family of Terri Schiavo were willing to look after her. She showed clear signs of joy when her mother and father were present. She was in no way brain dead. The family believed her injuries were inflicted by Michael Schiavo himself and that his motive in seeking to use the Judiciary to force doctors at the hospital to murder her was his fear that she mighr regain the power of speech and identify him as her assailant.
6. Me, I suppose, although self praise is no praise the gulpens say.

7. Er, that's it.

Footnote: My disagreement with Mark Steyn and Sean Hannity's advocacy of the Presidency of Donald Trump in the United States has not led me to downgrade their journalistic accomplishments.
