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.

"Instead of assuming that everyone is innocent until proven guilty, we seem to have this vague suspicion, 'well, everyone is a possible criminal.' And that's really turning on its head our fundamental system of values and the constitutional amendments that protect our personal liberties. "

– Heidi Boghosian, executive director of the National Lawyers Guild, on the dangers of the government's massive surveillance program, which was put into effect during the Bush administration and continues under President Obama.
