Parry, formerly an Associated Press reporter who helped break the Iran-Contra scandal in the mid-80s, responds to questions about the remarkable lack of media coverage of Postol's analyses, even to debunk them, as well as the complete lack of skepticism by the the U.S. mainstream media -- right, left and center -- on Syria, as well as other U.S. military adventures. That, even after having been fooled before (Iraq is just one example), and otherwise claiming a newfound interest in fact-checking and skepticism in the Trump Era.

Federal Court blocks Trump's order concerning 'sanctuary cities'.
