[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I don't know what happened here. But for me the astonishing part of this story is that the us press refused to run the Hersh story.... He had to go to Europe...If Hersh cannot get published here, who can? How "free" is our press?[/quote] In this interview with Slate -- which is pretty hilarious and in which Hersh basically redefines the term "crotchety" -- Hersh seems to say that The New Yorker would have run the story but he chose to take it elsewhere. He is a bit unclear, but he implies that it would have been too much of a headache to jump through the expected hoops of the New Yorker. He suggests that the fact-checking and editorial standards an the LRB are just as high, but there is less political concern. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/foreigners/2015/05/seymour_hersh_interview_on_his_bin_laden_story_the_new_yorker_journalism.single.html[/quote]
