Review of Viva La Controversy!
Voices of Our World has taken on the admirable task of giving voice to those figures considered too incendiary by the mainstream media. I first saw the British spitfire George Galloway speak at the European Social Forum a few years ago and he falls deeply into the category of "those who should be avoided". So hats off to those who dare. However...
Any interview is more interesting, any interviewer more credible when they ask challenging questions. And any interviewee is more articulate, if actually challenged. Shouldn't Mr. Galloway have been asked if he was at all concerned about the terrible human rights violations committed by the very Fidel Castro he so admires?
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad someone is interviewing George Galloway. I'm just saddened that there was no actual journalism involved.
