@asteris Maybe not unfounded but why would he need to embellish or lie to make his point valid? Important question.
Even if Seymour Hersh embellished (or outright made shit up), is his critique on the state of journalism today unfounded?

@curtiskj I don't think he lied, but he bent the envelope, which pissed a lot of people (burst their bubbles). Every journo I respect did -
@asteris I haven't read it but have seen both huge praise & strong critiques on feed. I get feeling debate is largely over confirmation bias -

@asteris Ugh. My phone won't let me open the link (its a Guardian thing). I'll read it when I get home tonight. -
@curtiskj please do, you've gotten way too deep into a convo about an article you haven't read yet ;) -
@asteris Fair enough, although I wasn't trying to take in the substance of the article but the philosophical ques you started with.
