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.

"NATO now includes three formerly Soviet countries, eight or nine Warsaw Pact countries. There needs to be a security guarantee to Russia reaffirming the pledge (to former Russian leader Mikhail Gorbachev) that NATO will not (be expanded). If Ukraine is going to be economically prosperous, or even economically sustainable, Ukraine needs to be part of both the EU and the Russian Customs Union."

– Interview with Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor of The Nation magazine, on the Ukraine crisis and avoiding a revival of a new Cold War

Two months after the leak of 10,000 gallons of a chemical used in coal processing, known as MCHM, into the public water supply that 300,000 West Virginians depend on, almost no one in the affected area is drinking the water. That, despite reassurances from West Virginia American Water four days after the Jan. 9. spill that the system had been flushed and the water was safe to use. The leak came from a holding tank owned by Freedom Industries, whose tank farm was located on the edge of the Elk River, that flows into the larger Kanawha River that moves through Charleston, W.Va.’s capital and largest city.  Story continues
