I actually took the time to read through the article, now I wish I hadn’t. The whole thing reads like a spy novel conspiracy theory so I had to look up the site… and sure enough, they are actually rated as very low on factual reporting based on their frequent conspiracy theories. I do find it interesting that their rating is also “Far-Left Biased”,makes me feel like this whole article was an attempt to shift that back towards center.
Then again, it was also expected. OP posts at least one article a day weakly attempting to bash the Biden administration, so this is par for the course.
The author’s evidence is that he has none, therefore it’s the perfect operation. Assertions presented without evidence may be dismissed without evidence.
It’s fair to be critical of Hersh’s use of anonymous sources, but it was those same anonymous sources that enabled him to cover the so-called “weapons of mass destruction” and “nuclear materials” used to justify the invasion of Iraq. It’s not like this article is coming from a journalistic non-entity. Hersh has a pretty stellar record as far as journalism uncovering government corruption.
Tell me you’re young without telling me you’re young.
Mint press is the publisher. The author is the important bit here. Sy Hersh is responsible for breaking lots of stories, and you should recognize his name.
He’s probably the last of the independent journalists.
And Sy Hersh has been criticized by a number of journalists for falling down a conspiracy rabbit hole in recent years, with his reporting on the nordstream attack being a major example.

And the torture of prisoners in Iraq, as well.

I remember the same criticisms coming out when the torture story came out.
And then the images came out.
When you criticize the US, there are a lot of people that will insist that you’re wrong, and crazy for thinking the US could ever do bad stuff.
No need for ageism.
