Journalism By Shotgun
Andrew Exum is not a Seymour Hersh fan:
My theory is that Hersh's journalism is a little like a 12-gauge
shotgun. He just lets it go, and something is bound to hit the target.
But each year, it seems, another inch is shaved off the barrel, so the
shot group gets wider and wider. Over time, fewer and fewer pellets
actually hit the target, but such is his reputation that people only
remember the articles of his that actually exposed something new and
none of the articles that, in retrospect, turned out to be just crazy
talk.
