"We're going to make this an issue. We're going to make the American people collectively ashamed that they cared more about Monica Lewinsky than what's going on in their own neighborhood."
Hersh is howling again. Sounds like music.
Salon.com, Jan. 18, 2000.
Der Spiegel wrote an article on the murdered Russian journalist, Anna Politkovskaya ... comparing her to Seymour Hersh.
She liked to wear old-fashioned wool sweaters. She was neither left- nor right-wing, but a kind of moral watchdog who kept an eye on Russian politicians. In some ways, she was to Russia what investigative journalist Seymour Hersh is to the United States: someone incorruptible and driven. Some of her colleagues thought she was fanatical and even biased. Politkovskaya tried to impose moral norms on post-Soviet Russia.
Seymour Hersh ... I thought 'Who?' and went searching.
If curious, there's an interesting piece on him in Salon.com, dated January 18, 2000
