We Americans love our conspiracies and made up scandals…..we will overlook the obvious just to believe the moronic….this one ought to add the straightener in the right wing wankers……
In the last year we have had our fair share of scandals and conspiracies…..Benghazi, IRS, NSA….the continuing saga of “Fast and Furious” and 9/11 and a wealth of other total absurd crap…….but the one that seems to be more vocal than others, at least for now is the death of good old Osama.
This ought to add fuel to the fire……cannot wait to hear what Rush has to say….
Newser) – Veteran investigative journalist Seymour Hersh got people’s attention today with a comment made in passing during a wide-ranging Guardian interview. Amidst a rant on the media’s general unwillingness to hold President Obama accountable, Hersh touched on the death of Osama bin Laden. “Nothing’s been done about that story, it’s one big lie, not one word of it is true,” the Pulitzer Prize winner said.
He didn’t elaborate, but said there would be a chapter about the killing in his upcoming book on national security. He also said that a recent Pakistani report on the death was “bulls—,” and “was done with considerable American input.” Hersh also spoke at length about the media’s failings in general. “I’ll tell you the solution: Get rid of 90% of the editors that now exist, and start promoting editors that you can’t control,” he said.

Hersh is a respected investigative journalist and he may be on to something….or he could be just teasing people in an attempt to sell more of his upcoming book……..personally, I will wait for more information….I will draw my conclusion from what he has to say and then try to verify……I will not listen to anything the moronic radio hosts have to say…..
You never know, he could be on to something. I’ve always thought of Hersh to be fairly reliable. But on the other hand, he did say it in a sentence meant to bring awareness of his book.
We shall see.
I agree, Hersh has always been a good and thorough writer…..
I’m a Hersh fan too so it will be interesting to see what the details he has on this are. Totally agree with him about dumping 90% of the corporate-friendly news editors in this country.
Larry, I wish we could but as long as corporations owned the news we will have to depend on independents like us bloggers….
