- pphysch 4y agoThat's just not true. A handful of bloggers have nitpicked at it using publicly available information. All of Hersh's big stories received the same initial response of derision, going back to My Lai half a century ago [1]. Hersh, believe him or not, is not relying on publicly available information, but confidential sources.

- graeme 4y agoThere’s a difference between: 1. Convincing an editor to run your ideas under their masthead 2. Paying someone to edit your work, and running your ideas under your own masthead A newspaper is more than a brand. They put their reputation on the line when they publish. (You can make a good argument that many newspapers have trashed their own reputations, but that doesn’t negate the argument. When you self publish, you have no one vouching for you. Furthermore if you don’t like an editor or fact checker you can fire them)
