          And then there are those who don’t get whacked or politically persecuted, only cancelled. The people who got Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction wrong are still prominent today, while those who got it right have never worked in the industry again, like Chris Hedges and Phil Donahue.

          Like, of course US journalists toe the party line: you get promoted for doing it and you get permabanned like Chris Hedges if you question it.
