Behind the Media's Assault on Seymour Hersh

• antiwar.com

But the media establishment that once idealized him now seeks his destruction. Hersh is facing a coordinated attack from his former colleagues, each scrambling to drive in the next knife.

Hersh's recent report on the killing of Osama Bin Laden and his prior investigation of Obama's aborted 2013 bombing of Syria have attracted a synchronized media smear campaign.

But Hersh's attackers are a clumsy bunch. The hysterics and uniformity of the attack says less about the victim than it does the perpetrators, who share a self interest in shredding Hersh's stellar reputation.

Hersh's last two investigations exposed major lies of the Obama administration; but they also exposed the complete failure of the US media, who've been willing captives to the sloppy narratives spun by the Obama administration.

For example, Hersh's 2014 articles on Syria were a damning exposure of Obama's lies to the US public in his attempt to start a fresh war. The media responded to Hersh's sensational Syria articles with collective silence.
