Face to Face with Kim Hill - John Pilger
Television (Excerpts) – 2003
"You waste my time because you have not prepared for this interview. This interview frankly is a disgrace." So says award-winning Australian journalist John Pilger in this excerpt from an infamous 2003 interview with Kim Hill. Via satellite from Sydney, Pilger discusses Middle East politics, what he'd do about Saddam Hussein, and what he thinks about sanctions against Iraq. An angry Pilger says Hill is not asking informed questions. Hill pushes Pilger's book across the desk. Pilger implores Hill to "Just read. Read. It takes time." Hill discusses the memorable interview, and the decision to air it, here.
You waste my time because you have not prepared for this interview. This interview frankly is a disgrace.– John Pilger
