[Marxism] Gary Webb
The apparent suicide of journalist Gary Webb is more than a personal
tragedy. It is a reminder of the ugly role the major news media played in
destroying
Webb's career in the late 1990s when he tried to break through the
long-running cover-up of the contra-cocaine scandal. The bitter irony is that
even
when the CIA admitted its institutional guilt in drug smuggling by the
Nicaraguan contras, the nation's leading newspapers insisted on continuing the
cover-up.
For the full story about how the major newspapers kept running protection
for the Reagan-Bush contra-cocaine crimes and ruined Gary Webb's life, go to
