Seymour Hersh giving exclusive interviews to the Gateway Pundit is legitimately depressing.

(Not going to link to it, but it's out there.)

That's like walking past a dumpster and seeing some formerly well-known celebrity crawl out of it after a dumpster diving session.

I mean, damn...Gateway Pundit? That's an incredible long ways to fall from the days of the Pulitzer.

I just wonder where it all went wrong for Sy.

1. Hersh has lost his shit like Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald.

[Tommy Carcetti]

2. Even worse.

While they both were considered more respectable, Taibi and Greenwald didn't have nearly the reputation to squander as Hersh did.

He broke Mai Lai in 1970. He was reputable all the way up through the mid 00s when he broke Abu Gharib for The New Yorker. Recipient of the Pulitzer and five Polks.

Somewhere in the early 2010s he dramatically changed. Started running cover for Assad in Syria. Claimed the Bin Laden raid was faked. He just seemed to have fallen off a cliff, professionally.

It's similar to what happened with Robert Parry, who reported about Iran Contra in the 1980s for Newsweek, only to spend the last remaining years of his life carrying water for Putin and excusing his behavior.

6. Was it Hersh or Parry that kept trumpeting an immenent invasion of Iran in the late 00s?

[Tommy Carcetti]

7. That was Hersh.

Perhaps that was just a matter of errant reporting, but he seemed to fall off the reservation around that same time.
