Pentagon Mutiny on Syria Dismissed by 'Liberal' Media

The American mainstream press has both neglected and disparaged Pulitzer-prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh recently for reporting on how, for more than two years, senior U.S. military leaders subverted President Obama's strategy to overthrow Syrian President Bashar Assad, with some attacking Hersh for having the temerity to rely on unnamed sources. The so-called liberal media has exhibited a tendency to defend the Obama administration mantra that Assad "must go," and Hersh's account runs counter to this well-established gospel.

Vox, a purported liberal news site, assaulted Hersh for basing his report on an anonymous senior advisor to the Joint Chiefs, claiming that the journalist made "bizarre" claims in the past, "giving us little reason to trust him." Further, not a single major news agency picked up Hersh's allegations, the nature of which typically would be handled as a front-page bombshell.
