Encore: Original air-date 3-27-2023. On today's 'BradCast':\xa0 Accountability still matters, even for presidential misdeeds from more than 40 years ago.\xa0 Longtime investigative journalist RUSS BAKER, editor in chief of news site Who What Why, explains his latest article, 'The Iran Hostages, Carter, Reagan, and Bush: What the NY Times 'Scoop' Missed.' Baker details the stunning allegations reported in the New York Times by Ben Barnes, a Democratic operative, who claims that during the 1980 Presidential campaign he unwittingly participated in secret negotiations between top Reagan campaign officials and Iran to prevent the release of American hostages until after the 1980 election. Baker, who has been investigating the Reagan sabotage claim for decades, discusses the merits of Barnes' story, the documentary evidence, and who he thinks really engineered the 'traitorous' deal on behalf of the Reagan campaign. Baker also explains why it all still matters, so many years later, how the corporate media failed to inform the public, and how different the world would likely be today if not for Reagan's defeat -- by hook or by crook -- of Carter.
