+ I.F. Stone - an inspiration for us all

+ <p>I first got to know I.F. Stone when I came across an article by Jon
+Schwarz on The Intercept
+<a href="https://theintercept.com/2015/05/07/new-documentary-legacy-f-stone/">about
+his extraordinary contribution to investigative journalism in
+USA</a>. The article is about a new documentary in two parts
+(<a href="https://vimeo.com/123974841">part one is 12 minutes</a> and
+<a href="https://vimeo.com/123974842">part two is 30 minutes</a>), and
+I found both truly fascinating. It is amazing what he was able to
+find by digging up public sources and government papers. He
+documented lots of government abuse and cover ups, and I find
+<a href="http://www.ifstone.org/weekly.php">his weekly news letters</a>
+inspiring to read even today.</p>
+
+<p><blockquote>
+All governments are run by liars and nothing they say should be believed.
+<br>- I. F. Stone
+</blockquote></p>
+
+<p>His starting point was that reporters should not assume governments
+and corporations are telling the truth, but verify all their claims as
+much as possible. I wonder how many Norwegian reporters can be said
+to follow the principles of I. F. Stone. They are definitely in short
+supply. If you, like me half a year ago, have never heard of him,
+check him out.</p>
