Seymour Hersh was a journalistic hero of mine for so, so long - but what’s happened to him in recent years? In this interview with The Independent to promote his new memoir, he suggests Assad is fighting a “just war” and Bin Laden wasn’t behind 9/11. Sigh.https://www.independent.co.uk/news/long_reads/seymour-hersh-interview-novichok-russian-hacking-9-11-nerve-agent-attack-a8459596.html …

How is it a smear to quote his own words about him? I didn’t force him to refer to Assad in the same sentence as “just war”. I didn’t make him question OBL’s responsibility for 9/11.

You didn’t quote him. You misrepresented what he said. It’s disappointing to see this from you.

Precisely. As a journalist, I expect
@mehdirhasan to know what it means to QUOTE someone. This is saddening to see.

What you’re saying is that if the ‘mainstream’ narrative says that cyanide is poison, you would consume it. That’s the logic you’re using.
