      I actually took the time to read through the article, now I wish I hadn’t. The whole thing reads like a spy novel conspiracy theory so I had to look up the site… and sure enough, they are actually rated as very low on factual reporting based on their frequent conspiracy theories. I do find it interesting that their rating is also “Far-Left Biased”,makes me feel like this whole article was an attempt to shift that back towards center.

      Then again, it was also expected. OP posts at least one article a day weakly attempting to bash the Biden administration, so this is par for the course.

        Tell me you’re young without telling me you’re young.

        Mint press is the publisher. The author is the important bit here. Sy Hersh is responsible for breaking lots of stories, and you should recognize his name.

        He’s probably the last of the independent journalists.

    Media bias / fact check for Mint Press News:

    Overall, we rate Mint Press Far-Left Biased and Questionable based on the publication of conspiracy theories, pseudoscience anti-Israel propaganda, poor sourcing, failed fact checks, and false claims.

    You got a better source for this, OP?

      Seymour Hersh is an award-winning journalist who’s well-known for uncovering rampant government corruption. His record includes coverage of the My Lai massacre in Vietnam, Saudi support for al-Qaeda leading up to 9/11, and the so-called “weapons of mass destruction” and “nuclear materials” used to justify the invasion of Iraq.
