Media Lens have published an article about corporate media obituaries of Desmond Tutu, the former Archbishop of Cape Town and chairman of South Africa’s truth and reconciliation commission.

The Media Lens Book Of Obituaries – Deleting Tutu’s Criticism Of Israel

– “Clearly, our media guardians of power were keen to say as little as possible about Tutu’s criticism of Israel without exposing themselves as outright totalitarians by blanking the issue 100% – 99% is a much better look, especially when reviewing the life of a courageous anti-fascist.”

It also includes a quote from Craig following the death of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

Desmond Tutu a man with the highest of integrity and honesty. Called out injustice and dishonesty wherever in this world he came across such. The world will miss him

[M.J.]

It was Archbishop Desmond Tutu who chose the music for his funeral. One of his favourites was Hakeleje, of which a recording made by the Soweto gospel choir at the Nelson Mandela theatre was played during his funeral. It can be seen on Youtube here:
