    Establishing a reputation as one of America’s toughest investigative reporters with his Pulitzer Prize-winning exposé of the massacre in My Lai during the Vietnam War, Seymour Hersh has since uncovered a slew of scandals, secrets, and half-truths that have shaken the foundations of the D.C. power structure. For his stories about Kissinger’s role in the Nixon administration, our country’s hidden chemical and biological arsenal, the torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo, Gulf War Syndrome, and host of other topics, he has won five George Polk prizes, two National Magazine Awards for Public Interest, and the National Book Critics Circle Award, among many other honors. In The Killing of Osama Bin Laden, Hersh investigates lies told to the public about the raid on the 9/11 mastermind’s compound and its far-reaching political legacy.

    I personally love the way he digresses. Typical old school author who is bursting full of stories, info, facts etc. His books are a good read and he writes as if the story tells itself. If you listen to him speak you just need to get in the zone and try and follow him. I could listen to him forever.

      You can tell there is so much knowledge in his brain that when he gives a talk it’s going a million miles an hour, very scattered but excellent in its own right.
      And I agree, I could listen to him for hours and hours and not get bored

      @@deedeeramone34 yes. He’s got a brain full of confidential sources, secrets, leads..inside info. Kind of cool how can weave all the facts and figures together without compromising anyone..in his books at least. Reminds me of an older relative or grandpa telling us how “it once was”

      Err use your brain & understand the context of time. This was in 2016, hence the focus on Syria/Iraq & the election. Context is key. This was reuploaded in 2019.

      Lol primary source documentation and home videos declassified years after Mr Hersch made international news and lots of money forcefully projecting his theories prove otherwise. Maybe he’s right about the pipeline, maybe it’s another propagandized theory curated to delight the target audience.

      Yeah, but he's NOT a "public speaker" (although he's doing a pretty good job of speaking in public.)
      He's an investigative journalist and a CRACK one at that.
      I'm not beefin'.
      Each of his "digressions" was independently informative.
