Major US Outlets Found Hersh’s Nordstream Scoop Too Hot to Handle (fair.org)

> The Times of London (2/8/23) reported Hersh’s story hours after he posted it on his Substack account, but nothing in the New York Times.

Britain’s Reuters News Agency moved at least ten stories (2/8/23, 2/9/23, 2/12/2, 2/15/23, among others), the Associated Press not one.

Not a word broadcast by the major US broadcast networks—NBC, ABC, CBS—or the publicly funded broadcasters PBS and NPR.

No news stories on the nation’s major cable outlets, CNN, MSNBC and Fox News.


Or maybe they're working under the presumption that it's a big ol' nothingburger, just like the "Twitter Files" thing they tried so hard to make into a big thing.

Who can know?

[edited to remove false implication that Hersh was the chef of the Twitter files nothingburger]


LMAO. What does Seymour Hersh have to do with the Twitter Files? You’re getting your Russiagate dead-ender talking points confused.

And the Twitter files have revealed quite a bit. US government-coordinated censorship and exposing the Russian “bot” army as a myth. You clearly haven’t read them, or are just editorializing to fit your ideology.


You're right, I'm getting my nothingburger purveyors confused. As you were!


Virtually everyone who read the Mueller Report came away thinking that Trump and his campaign were deeply involved with Russians. Justin Amash is a great example.

Where there's smoke there's fire.


Russiagate has been totally debunked, which is why even the current AG has brought no charges. I would refer you to the series that user tomohawk so helpfully linked to above.

The Columbia Journalism Review disagrees with you.
