Seymour Hersh Blasts Media for Uncritically Promoting Russian Hacking Story

anatta said:
there wasn't much dispute over the "17 intelligence agencies" either , until that was pushed back to 3.
And Hersh reminds us here even that number is inflated -because the NSA did not have "high confidence"

It's basically Brennan (CIA) and Clapper (DNI) only calling the shots on that assessment

Yeah - and Hillary was exonerated, but the media still covered that story for a full year, every time Trump talked about it.

You are an unbelievable hypocrite, with an incomprehensible double-standard. The media is covering an investigation. They're not "making up" facts. Trump makes it a bigger story with his tweets and his actions.

I recall very clearly how righties excoriated Hersh for exposing the torture at Abu Ghraib, and called war critics like me a traitor for believing him. Now's he's going to be their hero.

No one excoriated him for exposing Abu Ghraib. They despised him for his biased reporting as though we didn't want that sort of thing. We expected it and wanted more of it.

BTW you're about to get more of it.

Hillary was never exonerated you incompetent liar. But back in the day, you leftist hypocrites declared investigations as a waste of time and money, yet now stupidly believe that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.

Your stupidity and hypocrisy has no bounds.

Wrong again dumbass; the media is fabricating their own version of an investigation trying to rationalize the reasons Hillary lost and moronically blame it on the Russians.

Dunce.

The hell they didn't. I was on message boards at the time and remember it all very, very clearly.

Hersh wasn't biased about Abu Ghraib. He exposed the bushie war supporters for what they are.

Hillary was exonerated from what and by who ?....Comey certainly had no right and no authority to 'exonerate' any body...that was a decision to be made by the Dept. of Justice....

The case against her was proven by testimony under oath....
Sending classified material through unsecured email
Destroying evidence under congressional subpoena
Bypassing government oversight of her work emails
Passing classified information to people without security clearances
Lying to Congress while giving testimony
Destroying computers used by her and her aides, etc, etc, etc....

You are an unbelievable hypocrite, with an incomprehensible double-standard, and willful ignorance of the facts.

good indictment
 
It's actually very entertaining to watch you guys STILL go after Hillary with breathless panting and clenched fists, all while saying that an FBI investigation into Russia is "made up" and "just like birtherism."

You couldn't ask for a more clear double-standard. You guys just can't see it because you're still mired in your fury w/ Hillary.

Not nearly as entertaining as watching YOU twits going after Trump with breathless panting and clenched fists, all while saying that an FBI investigation into unsecured e-mails is "made up" and "just like birtherism."

Dunce; you really are dumb aren't you?

You're too stupid to comprehend the irony of your double standards and can't see it because you're still mired in your fury w/ Trump.

Dunce.

You were probably one of those who supported the torture at Abu Ghraib. Don't lie, now.

No one supported it you repugnant ignorant lying twat; but we certainly did not buy into the moronic narrative that this is how American soldiers typically behave.
