The Guardian wrote a profile on legendary investigative reporter Seymour Hersh. Yes, he does have a well-documented record of being a Bush-hating liberal who can get a little over the top with his rhetoric. But the Guardian buried the lead in their story.
‘You cannot believe how many people have told me to call them on 20 January [the date of the next president’s inauguration],’ he says, with relish. ‘[They say:] “You wanna know about abuses and violations? Call me then.” So that is what I’ll do, so long as nothing awful happens before the inauguration.’
Memo to investigative reporters everywhere: Have your rolodexes updated and ready to work the phones on Inauguration Day.
