Robert Parry: Can MSM Handle the Contra-Cocaine Truth?

“The mainstream news media’s reaction to ‘Kill the Messenger’ has been tepid, perhaps not surprising given that the MSM comes across as the film’s most unsympathetic villain as it crushes journalist Gary Webb for digging up the Contra-cocaine scandal in the mid-1990s after the major newspapers thought they had buried it in the 1980s.  The drug lords show some humanity and even honesty as they describe how they smuggled drugs and shared the proceeds with the Nicaraguan Contra rebels, Reagan’s beloved ‘freedom fighters.’  By contrast, the news executives for the big newspapers come across as soulless careerists determined to maintain their cozy relations with the CIA’s press office.”
