Bhaskar Sunkara

Just writing here briefly, though a longer reflection is certaintly due, to convey the bad news. Cockburn was one of the finest journalists of his generation and a strong defender of decency. He will be missed.

Bhaskar Sunkara is the president of The Nation magazine and the founding editor of Jacobin. Follow him on Twitter: @sunraysunray.
