Seymour Hersh on Obama, NSA and the 'pathetic' American media
Guardian ^

Posted on 09/27/2013 9:35:17 AM PDT by navysealdad

Seymour Hersh has got some extreme ideas on how to fix journalism – close down the news bureaus of NBC and ABC, sack 90% of editors in publishing and get back to the fundamental job of journalists which, he says, is to be an outsider.

Thanks navysealdad.

Job #1 — defund National Partisan Radio and the Partisan Broadcasting System; defund the so-called arts programs, which are just partisan shilling (and fifth column activity) at its worst.

Job #2 — mount challenges to station licenses at each and every opportunity.

Job #3 — Voter ID, term limits (including on the SCOTUS), and an amendment to rid us of the problem of treaties used to override the Constitution.

Let me be the first to say my thoughts and prayers are with the family of Mr. Hersh after that tragic_______________(insert cause of death here) that he had next month.

Then there is the “reporter” vs. “journalist” dichotomy.

Don't even get him started on the New York Times 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 US Navy Seals raid in 2011.

The New York Times has carried so much water for Obama and democrats that it's taken the edge off Hurricane season...

“Don’t even get him started on the New York Times 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 US Navy Seals raid in 2011.

“Hersh is writing a book about national security and has devoted a chapter to the bin Laden killing.”

“Hersh is currently on a break from reporting, working on a book which undoubtedly will make for uncomfortable reading for both Bush and Obama.

“’The republic’s in trouble, we lie about everything, lying has become the staple.’ And he implores journalists to do something about it.”

Looks like Seymour Hersh is going to go “My Lai” on Barry in his upcoming book, including exposing the Bin Laden raid!

That is if he lives that long...

The apparatchik will black ball him. He’ll need to go into foreign exile.
