Robert Parry | WPost's Slimy Assault on Gary Webb

Robert Parry, Consortium News
Parry writes: "Leen insists that there is a journalism dictum that 'an extraordinary claim requires extraordinary proof.' But Leen must know that it is not true. Many extraordinary claims, such as assertions in 2002-03 that Iraq was hiding arsenals of WMDs, were published as flat-fact without 'extraordinary proof' or any real evidence at all, including by Leen’s colleagues at the Washington Post."

RSN: Can MSM Handle the Contra-Cocaine Truth

If you paid attention to the Iran-Contra-Cocaine Shenanigans at the time, the Ronald Reagan/former CIA Director G.H.W. Bush. the halos have long since vanished.

What was done was disgraceful and the FAUX News Network idolizing Oliver North even more nauseating, although there were others placed on the same false pedestal.

Robert Parry's articles are well worth reading....especially if you erroneously believe MSM.

Robert Parry | Can MSM Handle the Contra-Cocaine Truth

Robert Parry, Consortium News
Parry writes: "The mainstream news media’s reaction to the new movie, 'Kill the Messenger,' has been tepid, perhaps not surprising given that the MSM comes across as the film’s most unsympathetic villain as it crushes journalist Gary Webb for digging up the Contra-cocaine scandal in the mid-1990s after the major newspapers thought they had buried it in the 1980s."
