Radio Free Kansas - High Noon Today! Meet Robert Parry!

We've got the bonafide!
Radio Free Kansas has a great line-up today!

The first hour will feature local campaign news, audio clips from the "non-impeachment" hearing and the latest on the upcoming Little Green Festival this weekend in Lawrence, Ks.

And the second hour ...

We have Robert Parry!

Our featured guest during the second hour beginning at 1pm (Central) will be the independent investigative journalist Robert Parry of Consortium News.

Mr. Parry wrote of his credo with: "... why investigative journalism is so important to the health of a democracy. A dramatic set of new facts – as in Watergate or Iran-Contra – can overcome long-maintained lies and shake a corrupt government to its foundation. Investigative reporting also can strip away the pleasing façade of a deceptive leader or it can expose flaws in a 'conventional wisdom' that is taking the nation in a dangerous direction. Done right, investigative journalism is a huge threat to powerful elites trying to manipulate a population. ..."


I have long followed Mr. Parry's career and writing since he started his pathbreaking internet news web site in 1995. Parry has followed in the great tradition of I. F. Stone in printing the facts that challenges the mainstream news media today.


And speaking of another Stone (as in Oliver Stone) - don't wait for a mythic Hollywood rendition of history to come out on DVD - get Robert Parry and his sons, Sam and Nat's latest book, "Neck Deep: The Disastrous Presidency of George W. Bush." It's historically accurate, will stand the test of time and factual. Your surviving relatives and friends will know you weren't stupid, well at the least, you had a shelf full of books that looked like you weren't stupid.
