Letter

In response to Open letter to David Marr on his interview with Chris Hedges

In defence of David Marr

While I am an admirer of Chris Hedges and have read him at length, I have to disagree with Vivienne Porzsolt’s characterisation of his interview with David Marr (of whom I am also a fan).

Marr seemed to me to bend over backwards to accommodate Hedges’ viewpoint.

Hedges, in my view, overstated his case and made it very difficult, frustrating I would say, for Marr , who acted very professionally at all times.

To call the interview a “hatchet job”is simply wrong.
