Report becomes elephant in the room

No response from Times

The Times Co and its news pages so far have not responded to or covered Hersh's claims and subsequent criticism on its website.

Substack, founded in 2017 and headquartered in San Francisco, is an online platform that provides publishing, payment and design services for writers who sell subscriptions directly to readers.

In a preface to the Nord Stream article, Hersh wrote: "The story you will read today is the truth as I worked for three months to find, with no pressure from a publisher, editors or peers to make it hew to certain lines of thought — or pare it back to assuage their fears. Substack simply means reporting is back … unfiltered and unprogrammed — just the way I like it."

In the Democracy Now! interview, Hersh said: "There's no question there's been a polarization of the press since Trump got in. We're now on two sides — you know, right, left, Democrat, Republican, however you describe it. If you watch Fox News, you don't watch MSNBC, et cetera, et cetera.

"And if you read The New York Times, you're not going to get what the right-winger — you know, the conservatives have been after The New York Times and Washington Post for their, quote-unquote, 'liberal' views," he said. "So, we've got a polarization going."

Mark Ames, co-host of the Radio War Nerd podcast and the first to interview Hersh after his Nord Stream story, told responsiblestatecraft.org, "The corporate media is ignoring Hersh's story because they're deeply invested in the US empire and don't like stories that make the US empire look bad."
