'''John Pilger''' (b. 1939) is an [[Australia]]n left-wing film-maker who is extremely critical of [[United States]] foreign policy and [[British]] support for it. He has also criticized his Australia for its treatment of its Aboriginal peoples, and is a supporter of [[Hugo Chavez]].

His documentary "[[The War On Democracy]]" echoes anti-American themes first enunciated by [[Noam Chomsky]]. A review by the Jamie Russell of the UK's Channel 4 describes the film as a polemic. Russell notes that Pilger's interview with [[Hugo Chavez]] reveals his bias.<ref> "... he remains stolidly uncritical of the president's more obvious failings like his occasional willingness to bypass parliament."
