What the hell is a highly conservative journal doing highlighting and accentuating the most solid investigative journalist on the planet?
Anybody find this odd?
Journalist Seymour Hersh has challenged the system for decades! He's always been a threat to the right wing! Post-Nixon, GOPwingerism traditionally shied from investigative journalism treating it like the plague, especially Seymour Hersh-types.
Today, the corporate-deep state oligarchy has monopolized American media with five corporations controlling 90% of it. This fact, widely becoming known, has contributed to the public's mistrust of main media.
As if targeted with a Noam Chomsky-like yoke, Hersh suffered a long drought from being published in American media. His recent works have been published in European journals, where he exposed the US rat-line of weapons clandestinely moved out of Libya into Syria and he exposed the propaganda surrounding the alleged and falsified chemical attacks in Syria.
Today, main media's investigative journalists have been replaced with Pentagon-CIA plants. The network and cable Sunday talking head pundits represent agenda-driven think-tanks or ex-generals, and the once-critical people's-eye watchdog ombudsmen positions have all been eliminated by major media. It is conglomerate advertising and boardroom political slant which rules today.
Democrats should loudly deplore this ... they don't!
Unquestionably, traditional liberal thinking has gone downhill. It has ever since the Clinton neoliberal agenda began mimicking the Bush neocon agenda with respect to America's militarized economic policy, domestic policy also suffering as a consequence. A faux-Democratic leadership ruined a once-strong and unified party and has enabled the loss of 1,100 elective offices since 2010.
Letting right wing conservatives become the ones to praiseworthy of Seymour Hersh is yet more evidence Democrats have severely dropped the ball!
There should be more of this:

In fact, I submit the Clinton influence on the Democratic party is the worst political influence on the party since the days back when the Ku Klux Klan held its grip of influence, what with the southern Dixiecrats and the days when the Klan rode ravishingly horse-driven into small town communities.
Criticism of today's main media is a pressing today. And it appears the Clinton Democrats -- much like they destroyed what could have been Barrack Obama's legacy (if only he could have kept his community organizer shoes on!) -- are gonna let the right wing steal this very crucial issue.
MESSAGE TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY: Get those Clinton people out of controlling the party! Now!
