      Seymour Hersh is an award-winning journalist who’s well-known for uncovering rampant government corruption. His record includes coverage of the My Lai massacre in Vietnam, Saudi support for al-Qaeda leading up to 9/11, and the so-called “weapons of mass destruction” and “nuclear materials” used to justify the invasion of Iraq.

      Look, the commentor knows how to Google, but not well.

      Every media source is biased, some are just open about their biases while others like to hide theirs. Take the time to read with a critical eye instead of dismissing the source because some website told you they couldn’t be trusted.

      There are plenty of examples of mainstream, Western sources publishing absolute garbage, they just have better optics.
