They happen to turn their columns into both a weapon in the fight for freedom of the press—according to their vision of freedom—and—incidentally—a bargaining chip to make ends meet. Who are they? John Bolton, Rima Hassan, Paul Balta, Fareed Zakaria, Thomas Friedman, Jean-Marie Colombani, Edwy Plenel, Ignacio Ramonet, Pascal Boniface, etc., are among others who have been drawing attention over the last four decades. It would be unfair of me to put everyone in the same basket, and even less to talk about baksheesh (bribery) or lack of sound objectivity, which some…
