      Hersh has been dropping bangers since he broke the My Lai massacre, so not too shocking he continues to do so.

        I’m not shocked, but I’m neither of the my lai generation, nor american so hersh was new to me in 2022

        having followed his work since, I thought it might be worth pointing out to those not following his stuff in detail that he’s been prolific on his substack

    Lemmy like a fucking clockwork, “he was credible” until he said something nazi apologists don’t like:

    Also i bet diamonds against nuts that those guys would say the same about My Lai massacre or Watergate if they lived back then.

      They’d probably claim My Lai was overblown and was a necessary anti-partisan operation

        I mean we don’t even have to guess, we do know how “patriots” like those even on the “left” reacted back then.

    Liberals who can only read headlines: “See, he admits that he spent a whole year lying about Nordstream! Biden wins again!”

    In the past year we’ve seen a series of contrary newspaper stories, with no named first-hand sources, claiming that a dissident Ukrainian group carried out the technical diving operation attack in the Baltic Sea via a 49-foot rented yacht called the Andromeda.

    but the major media emphasized the White House denials and relied on an old canard—my reliance on an unnamed source—to join the administration in debunking the notion that Joe Biden could have had anything to do with such an attack. I must note here that I’ve won literally scores of prizes in my career for stories in the New York Times and the New Yorker that relied on not a single named source.
