Consortium News’ Record on Russia-gate—A Series of Articles on How CN Covered the ‘Scandal’: No. 1—‘The Sleazy Origins of Russia-gate’
(From the “scandal’s” outset, Consortium News adopted journalistic skepticism, led by founding editor, the late Robert Parry, with Ray McGovern, Daniel Lazare, Patrick Lawrence, Gareth Porter, Joe Lauria & VIPS debunking much of the mania that seized the land.
In the wake of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s final report in which no one was accused of “colluding” with Russia to steal the 2016 U.S. presidential election, we begin a series of republication of articles originally appearing at Consortium News that called the entire fiasco into question. Bob Parry was in the forefront of Russia-gate skepticism, recognizing its domestic and geopolitical dangers.
We begin with this article by Bob Parry published on March 29, 2017.)
I haven't even read this yet, I know it will be good for reading. For those new to the group, Consortium is my favorite and most trusted news site. I look forward to reading these articles again. I would also suggest if you're not familiar with Consortium News or Robert Parry, the Founder, that you take time to read the Memorial piece on the right side of any page within to get a feel for him and his journey towards delivering honest journalism. Well known as one of those who brought light to the Iran-Contra scandal. After years of fighting to get editors to print his work he left MSM to start the first internet news site in 1995. He also worked with Gary Webb on the crack epidemic that plague the African American community in the 80's as they covered how the CIA was most likely the source of it coming into the US. This site is a gold mine of information in the library with news that goes back decades. Anyways, Robert Parry passed away in January of 2018. If you stick around long enough you'll probably get sick of me talking about him 
I'm sorry, probably not thrown together to well. It's been one of those days and I want to throw another one up before I relax.
