Doug Henwood's talk in memory of Bob Fitch
Alexander Cockburn once said the mission of the bourgeois pundit is “to fire volley after volley of cliché into the densely packed prejudices of his readers.”
Cockburn's niece is House and Tron actress Olivia Wilde. His father was Claude Cockburn, a leader of the British Communists.

I've met Cockburn and the actor Iain Glenn who plays Jorah Mormont on Game of Thrones (and was on Downton Abby) reminds me of him with his accent, looks and confidence/bearing. Cockburn is more cheeky with an understated, mischievous smile.
