Mainstream media desperately tried to memory-hole the biggest bombshell report of the year, Seymour Hershâs Nord Stream revelations, attacking the Pulitzer-Prize-winning journalist instead. It was a field day for the Kremlin, which delighted in pointing out what ridiculous propaganda tools the mainstream media have become.
Instead of trying to verify or question Hershâs minutely researched report based on an inside source familiar with the alleged CIA attack on the Nord Stream pipeline Sept. 26, 2022, the floundering Fake News instead took to attacking the 85-year-old prize-winning former hero of the left, who exposed the My Lai massacre, Watergate and Abu Ghraib.
Leading the way for the character assassination campaign, Reuters labeled Hersh âno stranger to controversyâ, as if that were a bad thing for an investigative journalist. âThe White House dismissed Hershâs report, which relied on a single source to support its claim about the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines, as âutterly false and complete fiction.â Reuters was unable to corroborate Hershâs self-published articleâ, the WEF and Pfizer-tied âReutersâ wrote.
It was not clear what Reuters had done to try and âcorroborateâ the story.
No one at Reuters seems to have spoken to the Russian, German, Swedish or Danish investigators about the charges, for example.
TASS did, and were informed the Swedish Prosecutorâs Office âis unable to tell you anything about that because of confidentiality.â The Copenhagen Police also had âno further commentâ on the bombshell report, which is not exactly a denial.
Speaking in the German Parliament on Wednesday, Green âClimate and Economics Ministerâ Robert Habeck said any information on the Nord Stream blast is âclassifiedâ and âpart of a classified investigation. Therefore this is not a topic for parliamentary Question Time.â It was also far from a denial of Hershâs claims.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said Hershâs report contains ânothing unexpectedâ: âWe assumed the involvement of the US and at least some of Washingtonâs NATO allies in this outrageous crime, which was an armed attack on a key element of critical infrastructure.â
In classic Stalinist style, Hershâs Wikipedia entry was retconned to label Hersh a âconspiracy theoristâ.

So-called âjournalistsâ from UK-based fake news spigot Bellingcat labeled Hersh âsenile, corrupt and obsessively lyingâ.

âWe get a lot of our money from donors like the Open Society Foundation,â Bellingcat founder Eliot Higgins told the Guardian 2018.
The MSM couldnât do more to prove how fake they are if they tried
Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov blasted the Fake News media for trying to bury the bombshell story: âIt is so crucial for the media to pay attention to this very serious, and probably controversial, publication by Mr. Hersh on the alleged involvement and direct guilt of the White House for organizing the act of sabotage and terrorist act on critical energy infrastructure in the Baltic Sea, namely the Nord Stream pipelines. â Unfortunately, Peskov said, âthis article has not circulated widely in the Western media, and this undoubtedly surprises us.â
âIgnoring it would be unfair to say the least, particularly for such a country like Germany, which lost an essential energy facility as a result of a terrorist act,â Putinâs press secretary said. âThis report should provoke acceleration of international investigation. On the contrary, we see attempts to silently curtail this international investigation,â the Kremlin Spokesman noted.
Kremlin sees âattempts to curtail investigationâ
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko said that western governments and media were trying to âsinkâ the Nord Stream story:
âIf we talk about how much EU countries are concerned [over ecology issues], then the situation with the Nord Stream comes to mind â [the pipeline] that was detonated, as you know, under completely silent enabling and weakness of European countries. The investigation proceeds in a way that is aimed to have the tracks submerged, both literally and figuratively,â Grushko said.
Tucker Carlson was the only mainstream media source to take Hershâs allegations seriously:
