Bravo! Thank you for commemorating this horrid anniversary and connecting it to not only history, but also current events.

It’s worth noting that the same investigative journalist who uncovered the massacre at My Lai (Seymour Hersh) more recently documented the Biden administration’s bombing of the Nordstream pipeline despite a continuing official cover-up. https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/how-america-took-out-the-nord-stream

True to form, American journalists and editors responded by attacking Hersh’s findings, rather than support government transparency or accountability. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/prize-winning-reporter-seymour-hersh-no-stranger-controversy-2023-02-09/

Thank you for doing the work that those “professionals” abandoned!

Seymour Hersh is truly an amazing journalist, and I'm pretty sure he was spot on with his Nord Stream sabotage reporting. When the New York Times tries to debunk you, then that's a sure sign you've got the inside track on the Truth...

I could not agree more on both fronts! Hersh is something of an international hero, while the NY Times has done everything possible to destroy the credibility of journalism. The Intercept's recent reporting exposed that the Times published a false story about systemized sexual assault during the October 7 attacks, and then pursued an internal witch hunt and public coverup. I've written before about failures at the NYT, which frankly does not deserve its reputation. https://shahidbuttar.substack.com/p/the-new-york-times-shows-upa-decade

Our "Paper of Record" also was a major player selling the Iraqi WMD lie back in 2002. It's really just an Establishment propaganda organ that also likes to attack Substack because there's no censorship on the platform for a certain class of people who have way too much power in this country. Best of luck if you're running for office again!
