William Blum’s Legacy Smeared in NYT’s Obituary Pages

William Blum, author, historian and critic of U.S. foreign policy, who died last week at the age of 85, was smeared by the New York Times in their obituaries section. The headline read "William Blum, U.S. Policy Critic Cited by bin Laden, Dies at 85" -- this alone tell us everything we need to know, not only about the enormous impact Blum's life and work had on this world, but also the depths that gutter journalism at news organizations like the NYT will sink to attack people who dare to speak truth to power. Listen to Sunday Wire host Patrick Henningsen's response to the NYT's blatant smear job on this great American.
