Seymour Hersh on Obama, NSA and the "pathetic" American media

Pulitzer Prize winner explains how to fix journalism, saying press should 'fire 90% of editors and promote ones you can't control'

Pulitzer Prize, right off so there you have it, everything that follows is to be weighted with that singular weighty fact. Let's continue and try not to hold this weighty appeal to authority against him. But I wish the author hadn't done that.

Holds extreme ideas on how to fix journalism. Close news bureaus of NBC ABC, sack 90% of editors in publishing, return to fundamentals of journalists, that is, being outsider.

I'm starting to like this guy, Seymour Hersh, but that does not sound so extreme.

Nemesis is of U.S. presidents, and there is a link if you care to.

Nemesis is an inescapable agent of one's downfall. They just said Hersh felled down presidents. That might be worth reading. They continue, Hersh was once described by Republican party (no name given) as "the closest thing American journalism has to a terrorist." 

Now I'm really starting to like this guy Hersh.

Don't even get him started on the NYT which, he says, spends "so much more time carrying water for Obama than I ever thought they would -- or 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," he says of the dramatic USNavy Seals raid in 2011.

He wrote a book about it. Wanna know what in it? Okay, goes like this, at length at theguardian.

He says Osama was not buried immediately at sea, he was already dead for two years, the raid was a sham and everybody there swears,to Allah presumably, they never saw Osama or anything remote to that at the Abottabad compound that was raided. Besides, it  was Costellobad.
