Seymour Hersch on Obama and pathetic American media
The journalist speaks on today's media in America, among other topics. For those too young to remember, he exposed the 'My Lai massacre' in Vietnam (google it).
Quote:He is angry about the timidity of journalists in America, their failure to challenge the White House and be an unpopular messenger of truth.
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.
Quote:The Obama administration lies systematically, he claims, yet none of the leviathans of American media, the TV networks or big print titles, challenge him.
"It's pathetic, they are more than obsequious, they are afraid to pick on this guy [Obama]," he declares in an interview with the Guardian.

Kind of surprising to me that this was in the Guardian.

RE: Seymour Hersch on Obama and pathetic American media
It's not that they are afraid to pick on him. It's that they are in love with him and his agenda. Many on the left tend to be underhanded by nature - especially the type that lives in the world of media. They love his lies if it brings about the utopia.

They might be afraid, Obama is targeting people with the IRS, EPA, and DOJ.
