"The Life and Times of Gary Webb
His Journalism Was Vindicated, Yet the Industry Kept Him in Exile"
By George B. Sanchez
Special to The Narco News Bulletin
January 25, 2005
"His exile was no mistake. The Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the San Jose Mercury News, and every paper that carried one of their wire stories attacking Gary are all culprits in this story of media assassination.
They destroyed him as much as those two bullets did.
And this leaves me feeling frightened and alone.
Gary came of age, like Alberto Giordano, Julia Reynolds, and countless others, in what very well may be North American print media’s finest days. They saw United States President Richard Nixon and his White House staff fall like a deck of cards because of the reporting of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein for the Washington Post, and an aggressive stringer for the New York Times and the New Yorker by the name of Seymour Hersh. When Arizona Republic reporter Don Bolles was killed by a car bomb in 1976 after he had set up a meeting with a source, dozens of reporters descended upon Phoenix, Arizona, to finish Bolles’ work and bring to light the events that led to his death. That gathering was the foundation for the Investigative Reporters and Editors group."
