> only real investigative journalists these days - Edward Snowden and Julian Assange

That's insulting. There are thousands of investigative journalists doing real work every day. Do some research: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investigative_journalism

> Seymour Hersh

His recent story was very sketchy, but he has always spoken against the establishment. The government has been smearing him since 1969.



My point was that in the past journalists in general supported him and were against the establishment.

Whereas if Watergate happened today they'd just say it's justified against Russian spies or something.


Should journalists just blindly accept his work? There are numerous flaws that he won't respond to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seymour_Hersh#Nord_Stream_sabo....

There are better examples of what you're saying, not saying your point doesn't have merit, just that Hersh is a bad example.
