Seymour #Hersh who won a Pulitzer 53 years ago, says the USA already planned to blow up #NordStream in 2021. Even after Russia invaded Ukraine and cut off all gas on NS, Biden's like "kaboom!!"
Russia wouldn't blow up its own pipeline, right? Well... https://news.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=22751977&cid=63277405

What did #Hersh say about how he vetted his anonymous source? Nothing. Instead he cited officials saying "this is false and complete fiction" as if it proved the story, and then simply carried on treating his source's claims as undisputed facts.
This is not normal journalism.

A normal journalist would do one of two things. Either
1. do whatever it takes to prove (at least to your own satisfaction) that your source is credible, and tell readers why you are so sure.
2. tell us you couldn't vet the source, so we should take a massive grain of salt.

Even if you believe "sleepy Joe Biden" is the sort who plans to blow up its allies' gas supplies during peacetime, why would the plan continue unchanged after Russia itself shut down the pipelines?
I find this story fishy. https://news.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=22751977&threshold=1&commentsort=0&mode=thread&pid=63277667#63280189
