Consortium News is comprised of former insiders at senior levels of intelligence and mainstream media who broke with the establishment to share their unique insights about the world with our readers.
Founding editor Bob Parry left a legacy of strict, non-partisan journalism, really the only kind of journalism that there is, which this site has endeavored to continue, writes Joe Lauria.
As we celebrate Consortium News‘ 30th Anniversary this month and appeal for funds for our future, we republish this history of the site written by the founding editor, Bob Parry, on Dec. 21, 2014.
Consortium News was born on Nov. 15, 1995. We are celebrating three decades of a strictly non-partisan, non-ideological approach to the news. It has made us enemies on both the left and the right.
Israel-U.S. relationship examined: Ex-C.I.A. officer John Kiriakou, former U.S. Green Party V.P. candidate Ajamu Baraka and CN Editor Joe Lauria joined host Danny Haiphong on his webcast Sunday.
We have lost that connection between reason and morality …. We have decisively lost our idea of the commonweal as the anchor from which reason will make its case.
CN‘s founding editor already wrote in March 2017 that Christopher Steele’s “investigative dossier suggests that we can’t really think for ourselves. We are all Putin’s puppets.” Russiagate adherents clearly stopped thinking for themselves.
CN has been ahead of the news on Ukraine, from reporting the coup and warning of nuclear catastrophe as far back as 2015, to news of the war today. Help us to continue our coverage.
