Definitely read Gary Webb’s book. Another reason they refuse debate with honest journalists is that in doing so the honest ones get a tiny platform for a tiny amount of time. Media ownership wants them to be completely invisible and unheard. Finally, I have read before that Gary Webb was murdered, but have never seen anything as detailed as what you say in your comment. If you have a cite I could look at, I would really appreciate it if you could share it. Thank you.

Here's a short Reddit convo on the matter of Gary Webb dying with two bullet holes to the brain (fwiw; I don't have any definitive info, but good points are made all around here): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20940768

I read the thread. Don’t know what would be worse. The thought that the bastards drove this young man with a family to suicide, or that they killed him. But, where were the entry points of the two shots? If they were in the back of his head, it makes the official suicide determination seem a lot less plausible to me. In any case, thanks again, Karen.

Reminds me of the Enron executive who supposedly ran his car off the road, shot himself twice in the back of the head, and then threw the gun three meters away. Another suicide, of course.
