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 -
@curtiskj http://www.theguardian.com/media/media-blog/2013/sep/27/seymour-hersh-obama-nsa-american-media … most pertinent bit starts with "Our job is to find out ourselves", imo -
@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.

@asteris Here's the thing... If he was taking a position that you didn't agree with, would you be so accepting of the stretching? -
@curtiskj I don't judge journalism based on whether I agree with its' agenda. I try to judge factual observation based on their merit alone
