> Seymour Hersh's reputation

Is this satire or what? His reputation is "as a nutcase" nowadays.

Most reputable editors, when given a secret-sources story, either reject it outright, or say "OK, tell me their names and let me talk to them."

If you're Hersh, maybe you get away with saying, "trust me."

That’s why he’s useful. Enough people associate his name with his wins and either don’t know he’s lost his mind or think it’s just the usual hit pieces.

But either he’s being fed this by someone with an agenda or he shares that agenda.

Conspiracy thinking ironically always includes blind credulity, just of other things.
