Robert Parry

Call-in live show, with veteran investigative journalist Robert Parry.  He started one of the first independent news web sites Consortium News in 1995. He broke many of the Iran-Contra stories in the 1980s for the Associated Press and Newsweek. His latest book, Neck Deep: The Disastrous Presidency of George W. Bush, was written with two of his sons, Sam and Nat, and can be ordered at neckdeepbook.com. His two previous books, Secrecy & Privilege: The Rise of the Bush Dynasty from Watergate to Iraq and Lost History: Contras, Cocaine, the Press & 'Project Truth' are also available there. We'll discuss many of the guest writers that appear at Consortium News each week and his most recent, "Questioning Obama's Americanism" concerning the history of the mysterious "birther" movement and who fuels it.  Callers welcome.  Currently Mr. Parry has a $10,000 'challenge' grant and I will be asking for donations, in any amount, to support the important work at Consortium News.
