It's worth reading the comments from the last time this author's writing on the Nord Stream bombing appeared: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34707305 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34707305 Also, https://archive.ph/20230908015110/https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/how-america-took-out-the-nord-stream https://archive.ph/20230908015110/https://seymourhersh.subst...

I can hardly think of any better example on how much the legacy media has fallen than with how they treat Sy Hersh. They applauded him, they had high respect for him, they were always willing to offer him the front page for his superb investigative reporting ... The fact that he had to go to Substack to publish the Nordstream investigation and that they all ran hitpieces on him as soon as he came out with this is such a clear display or how disconnected they are and how they are nothing more but government propaganda. They all turned on him, they acted like he was a different person now. A clear sign of the disconnect of the legacy media and how they are dying. Only government mouthpieces who want to work in legacy media now, all the truth tellers are working for alternative media now or self publish like Hersh does. And I am not complaining, goood riddance! We need no editor and other gatekeepers who bury important stories, who check back with the government if its OK to post or ask for edits from them. Who instantly dismiss everything that exposes government crimes as "conspiracy theory" no matter the seniority and reputation of the reporter.

    Read my other comment about the "unnamed source". You just eat up the propaganda from the legacy media. You for sure would be want to be named if you were the source. Sy Hersh is a senior master investigative reporter, he trusts his source and people with a brain trust him. Biden said his administration will end Nordstream 2 and so he did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSPfXLPUJHM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSPfXLPUJHM how brainwashed did you have to be to not believe the obvious. Its not "wild claim" there was the threat and then there was the fulfilled promise.

      > Read my other comment about the "unnamed source". You just eat up the propaganda from the legacy media. You failed to present any basis for your personal assertion, and instead you only doubled-down on accusatory conspiracy theories. That's not the ideal reaction to someone pointing out your conspiracy theory is unsubstantiated and unsourced. A little rational, objective thinking goes a long way.
