Award-winning Investigative Journalist Robert Parry (1949-2018)

Award-winning investigative journalist and founder/editor of ConsortiumNews.com, Robert Parry has passed away. His ground-breaking work uncovering Reagan-era dirty wars in Central America and many other illegal and immoral policies conducted by successive administrations and U.S. intelligence agencies, stands as an inspiration to all in journalists working in the public interest.

Robert had been a regular guest on our Between The Lines and Counterpoint radio shows -- and many other progressive outlets across the U.S. over four decades.

His penetrating analysis of U.S. foreign policy and international conflicts will be sorely missed, and not easily replaced. His son Nat Parry writes a tribute to his father: Robert Parry’s Legacy and the Future of Consortiumnews.

Wisconsin GOP Rams Anti-Union Bill Through, 7,000 Converge on Capitol

"A great mass of Americans are ready to stand up and say, 'We've had it. We're not going to take it any more. You've shuttered our factories, you've foreclosed on our homes, you've de-industrialized and made dysfunctional our communities. Now you're going after our public sector jobs and our last hope of remaining middle class."

-- John Nichols, The Nation magazine national correspondent, on the massive, pro-union protest in Madison, Wis., that is entering its fourth week, and where crowds have risen from 10,000 to 100,000 supporters.

The Senate approved 18-1. See the video of this contentious meeting -- with Assembly Minority Leader state Sen. Peter Barca's effort to halt the meeting that he said was in violation of the open meeting law due to its lack of public notice -- and other updates in the related links below. Story continues
