Pepe Escobar
Pepe Escobar (born 1954) is a Brazilian journalist and geopolitical analyst[1][2] who writes regularly for Asia Times Online. Hampton University professor Steven J. Rosenthal, when interviewed by Pakistani think-tank Policy Perspectives[better source needed] in 2010 described Escobar's focus as the multi-national "competition for dominance over the Middle East and Central Asia."[3]
Escobar is also a commentator on Russia's RT and Sputnik News. In response to queries about editorial interference, Escobar was quoted in 2012 as saying "I knew the Kremlin involvement, but I said, why not use it? After a few months, I was very impressed by the American audience. There are dozens of thousands of viewers. A very simple story can get 20,000 hits on YouTube. The feedback was huge.”[4] He previously wrote many opinion pieces for Al Jazeera.[5][6]

A look at the list of Al Jazeera correspondents, commentators and anchors offers dramatic proof of its cosmopolitan breadth.
