That's insulting. There are thousands of investigative journalists doing real work every day. Do some research: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investigative_journalism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investigative_journalism
> Seymour Hersh
His recent story was very sketchy, but he has always spoken against the establishment. The government has been smearing him since 1969.
- nivenkos 4y agoMy point was that in the past journalists in general supported him and were against the establishment. Whereas if Watergate happened today they'd just say it's justified against Russian spies or something.
- haskellandchill 4y agoShould journalists just blindly accept his work? There are numerous flaws that he won't respond to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seymour_Hersh#Nord_Stream_sabotage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seymour_Hersh#Nord_Stream_sabo.... There are better examples of what you're saying, not saying your point doesn't have merit, just that Hersh is a bad example.
