It’s a tricky thing to write about history as we live it, like trying to put out a house on fire while you’re lying in bed. But Chris Hedges was once Middle East bureau chief for The NY Times, where Seymour Hersh was a legendary reporter; that paper also published the Pentagon Papers. Glenn Greenwald wrote for the Guardian; and Matt Taibbi covered deep sea cephalopods for Rolling Stone. That’s just a sampling of those that the MSM has exiled in order to keep us safe.
