IN DECEMBER investigative journalist Seymour Hersh published an explosive exposé on Syria. Hersh’s article explained how the Obama administration had “cherry-picked intelligence” about the August 21 2013 chemical weapons attack on Ghouta “to justify a strike against Assad.”
Acting more like a herd of animals rather than the independent, questioning journalists they are supposed to be, shockingly the British media ignored Hersh’s report.
As it turned out, the planned US attack on Syria was averted when political considerations forced the White House to pause, which allowed Russia to propose the deal that is currently destroying Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal.
