Robert Parry has died - Anthony Thorne - 28-01-2018 Posting this here as I view Jim's work with Robert at Consortiumnews as being a continuance of his fine work on the JFK case. Robert Parry, a fine journalist and the author of several excellent books on contemporary politics, has passed away. He ran the Consortiumnews site since 1995. He was one of the handful of journalists who practiced and exemplified independent journalism, and though I say 'handful' I'm having trouble thinking of many others. RIP Robert. https://consortiumnews.com/2018/01/28/robert-parrys-legacy-and-the-future-of-consortiumnews/ Robert Parry has died - Magda Hassan - 29-01-2018 Thanks Anthony. Was just going to post his passing too. A sad loss. A great journalist who made a big difference. Will be greatly missed. Deep condolences to his family and friends. Robert Parry has died - Peter Lemkin - 29-01-2018 Sad news! Why is it that the good seem to die young and so many of the most evil people do not. Parry brought me and others who can see through the MSM propaganda many stories the 'Borg' wanted repressed or only represented with the official version. A man of high journalistic and humanistic values - gone but not forgotten. Robert Parry has died - Jim DiEugenio - 29-01-2018 I cannot say how sad this makes me. The last time I felt this badly about a journalist dying was with Gary Webb. Bob was one of the very few journalists who actually let people write about the JFK case from a critical viewpoint. Not assuming the WC was correct. He was proud of the fact that he was contrary to much of the MSM on many different angles. And he was also proud that he did not accept advertising and simply stayed online through readers' donations. His work in so many fields was simply stellar. And as he used to say, every day was a work day. I miss the guy already. Robert Parry has died - Dawn Meredith - 29-01-2018 Very sad news indeed. I saw this yesterday on fb. Will be missed beyond words. Robert Parry has died - Alan Ford - 29-01-2018 I didn't have the pleasure as so many others had to experience the soul of this remarkable human being, but certainly echo the respectful sentiments already shared. Rest In Peace, Robert Parry, Rest In Peace. Robert Parry has died - Anthony Thorne - 30-01-2018 Oliver Stone on Facebook - Quote:Robert Parry's death Saturday night leaves a giant hole in American journalism. To my mind, he exists now alongside I.F. Stone, Drew Pearson, George Seldes, Gary Webb, and others as seekers of truth at the steep price you seem to have to pay to follow your common sense and your integrity when they are in direct opposition to the tyranny of mainstream media conformity. Parry was in that mainstream at the Associated Press and Newsweek, and quit when he recognized how corrupt our reporting on the Pentagon's Central American wars had become. He went after Reagan's Iran-Contra scandal, which was far worse in my opinion than Watergate (and deliberately ignored BTW by Katharine Graham and her Washington Post; note how she's now being lionized in Spielberg's lame-brained "The Post"). Robert Parry has died - Jim DiEugenio - 30-01-2018 Nice one by Oliver. Bob was very good in the film Stone executive produced, Ukraine on Fire. Robert Parry has died - Alan Ford - 30-01-2018 Anthony Thorne Wrote:Oliver Stone on Facebook - Thanks for sharing this gem, Mr. Thorne, two thumbs up at @ Oliver Stone's spot on sentiments. Robert Parry has died - James Lewis - 05-02-2018 He will be missed. Not many like him left, if any. |
