The shortcomings of the press in covering foreign affairs contribute to a poorly informed public, which can exacerbate tensions and prevent constructive dialogue.
In this context, former U.S. Senator Richard Black endorses The Herland Report in an interview with its founder, historian Hanne Nabintu Herland: “I am very grateful for what The Herland Report does, for its global reach and ability to speak the truth, because we seldom hear the truth from the global, mainstream media.”
“So much of what the media publish, particularly in the area of foreign affairs, contains so little reality, so little of genuine substance. It is organizations like Herland Report that give some hope that the people might be informed and eventually move towards a situation of peace.”
Former U.S. Senator Richard Black is a Vietnam veteran, former prosecutor U.S. Army and director at the Pentagon. has an impressive track record that covers a career as a military officer and colonel, a pilot with U.S. Marines in Vietnam. He later became a well-respected Senator with remarkable knowledge and understanding of the political and cultural realities outside the United States.
The interview addresses the neo-con foreign policy of endless wars, and the events that led to the Arab Spring, as well as the Syria and Libya wars. The question is: How can we return to international justice, and what do we mean by such a term?
