	Fisking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term Fisking, or to Fisk, is a blogosphere term describing ruthlessly detailed point-by-point criticism that highlights errors, disputes the analysis of presented facts, or highlights other problems in a statement, article, or essay.
		Fisking was coined by detractors of British journalist Robert Fisk in 2001.
		Fisking is similar to the line-by-line method in policy debate, where one debater addresses each point sequentially, dealing with each piece of an argument in turn, as opposed to addressing the entire thesis of his or her opponent.

	On The Beirut Bombing & Iraq By Robert Fisk & Amy Goodman
		Fisk is the Chief Middle East correspondent for the London Independent and has lived in Beirut for many years.
		ROBERT FISK: Well, I was sitting actually working at the desk where I'm sitting at the moment talking to you, and I had a call from my colleague in Baghdad, Patrick Cockburn, and we had been talking for about a minute, there was a extraordinary explosion.
		ROBERT FISK: Yeah, well, look, the real question is what is the role in all of this of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, the largest U.S. Embassy in the world, and Ambassador Negroponte whose reputation for supporting human rights and so on is obviously well-known to your listeners.

	Independent Online Edition > Robert Fisk
		A special investigation by Robert Fisk: the near total destruction of Iraq's historic past – the very cradle of human civilisation – has emerged as one of the most shameful symbols of our disastrous occupation.
		The victory of the Lebanese army at the Nahr el-Bared refugee camp – the killing of up to 100 al-Qa'ida-type insurgents at the cost of 163 Lebanese soldiers and 42 civilians – is being greeted in the country with "trumpetings" and "hootings" worthy of the country's greatest poet, Khalil Gibran.
		Robert Fisk reflects on the human misery and destruction inflicted on the country – and on how lucky he is to be alive after more than 30 years of reporting from some of the most dangerous places in the world.

	Meeting Robert Fisk
		Robert Fisk told us he first met bin Laden in Sudan in 1994, having been taken to a remote desert location whose location he wasn't supposed to be able to identify.

		ROBERT FISK: Neither of them are facing up to the realities that the Palestinians are not going to have a state, and the Israelis have no intention of giving them a state.

	The Times smears Robert Fisk \| The Progressive (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Fisk has become something of a caricature of himself, railing against Israel and the United States, dismissing the work of most of his colleagues as cowering and dishonest, and seeking to expose the West's self-satisfied hypocrisy nearly to the exclusion of the pursuit of straight journalism.”
		Bronner also takes Fisk to task for calling the Israeli occupation of Palestinian areas as the “last colonial war.” The United Nations has, however, in multiple resolutions recognized that Israel is sitting on occupied territory, which was one of the hallmarks of colonialism.
		Fisk's reporting, and his photos, are awakening the slumbering masses to the outrage that Bush and Cheney deserve for lying.

	Lateline - 21/06/2005: Fisk says Middle East anchored in history
		ROBERT FISK: Yeah, the real problem, you see, for the opposition is that the President of Lebanon, who obtained a three-year extra period in power from pro-Syrian parliamentarians last year, is a pro-Syrian.
		ROBERT FISK: Well, I think there are going to be more assassinations, and I haven't met a Lebanese who doesn't think so.
		ROBERT FISK: Look, it's nice and it would be lovely to contemplate that this was the case, and I would personally like to see that.

	The Anti-Israel Rants of Robert Fisk
		Fisk is equally mute about the PLO's reign of terror in southern Lebanon to which Lebanese of all faiths were subjected, and omits completely the seven years Israel endured PLO artillery bombardment and attacks against her population.
		Of Jerusalem Fisk bluntly states, the city was "illegally annexed by Israel which still claims it to be its eternal and unified capital." It hardly need be said that Fisk omits such proof of the long-standing and often dominant Jewish presence in Jerusalem as the evidence of numerous surveys and censuses.
		While Fisk emphasizes in emotional scenes the authenticity of Khatib's claim to his land — implying the Israelis had disputed it and seized his property as a result — nothing of the sort occurred.

		They are designed to drive home Fisk's belief that "war is primarily not about victory or defeat but about death and the infliction of death." Though Fisk's political stances may sometimes be controversial, no one can deny that this volume is a stunning achievement.

		Robert Fisk, chief Middle East correspondent for the London Independent, writes in his latest article, "It was the sight of thousands of Shias, the women in fl "hijab" covering, the men in leather jackets or long robes, the children toddling beside them, that took the breath away.
		ROBERT FISK: Well, I have to say, as a person who is regularly cynical about the Middle East, and I think with good reason, it was a very moving experience to see so many hundreds and thousands of Shia Muslims in Baghdad walking against the sound of bombs and mortar fire.

		After Fisk wrote the first 200 pages (chapter six is about his coverage of the Iran-Iraq War) he had a different view of the book.
		Fisk explained that he writes his reports like he is writing a letter to a friend.
		Fisk gave a modest description of himself as "the guy who writes on the spot." He explained that an osmotic-parasitic relationship exists between journalists and politics because in their minds closeness to power means access.

	A reporter who thinks objective journalism is a synonym for government mouthpiece
		Fisk doesn't believe in the concept, calling it a specious idea that, as practiced by American reporters, produces dull and predictable writing weighed down by obfuscating comments from official government sources.
		Fisk, a brilliant man who has a Ph.D. in political science from Trinity College in Ireland, thinks he knows all the answers and so he never hesitates to finger-point in stories.
		Fisk's editors at the Independent approve of this approach -- as do Fisk's legions of fans, many of whom live in the Bay Area, where his dispatches from Baghdad, Beirut and elsewhere are devoured like sacred writs for their insight, edge and rhetorical tone.
