NPR played it safe as usual by mentioning his name and saying that he gave a fiery speech which intrigued my curiousity to go search the Guardian website.
According to an editorial in the Guardian, the British media did not even bother to carry this live or otherwise. We won’t see it at all on the US media for sure. I am hoping Jon Stewart will pick up on it but I doubt it due to its unfunny nature.
Here is the link for those who are interested. It is quite fiery and I applaud him for speaking his mind 
A rather long read but worth it!
It starts out:
In 1958 I wrote the following:
‘There are no hard distinctions between what is real and what is unreal, nor between what is true and what is false. A thing is not necessarily either true or false; it can be both true and false.’ I believe that these assertions still make sense and do still apply to the exploration of reality through art. So as a writer I stand by them but as a citizen I cannot. As a citizen I must ask: What is true? What is false?
