The Crap on the Wall

This a brief combat report from the battlefield here and abroad in the aftermath of the release last Wednesday of my story about Joe Bidenโ€™s decision to blow up the Nord Stream pipelines.

First, many thanks for your interest in what the pipeline story was all about: a very dangerous Presidential decision. You are careful readers.

Iโ€™m an old hand at dropping bombshell stories that are based on the disclosures of sources I do not, and cannot, name. There is a pattern to the response by the mainstream media. It dates back to my breakthrough story: the My Lai massacre revelation. That story was published in five installments, over five weeks in 1969, by the underground media group Dispatch News. I had tried to get the two most important magazines in America, Life and Look, to publish the story, with no success. Editors at both publications had earlier invited me to do some freelance writing for them, but they wanted nothing to do with a story about a massacre committed by American soldiers.

It was a frightening time for me, in terms of my faith in the profession I had chosen. I was allowed to read and copy by hand much of the Armyโ€™s original charge sheet accusing a sad sack 2nd Lieutenant named William L. Calley Jr. of the premeditated murder of 109 โ€œOrientalโ€ human beings. I also had tracked Calley, the Armyโ€™s only suspect, and interviewed him at a base in Georgiaโ€”he was tucked awayโ€”and gotten his assertion that he was merely doing what he was ordered to do. Given all this, I was more than a little rattledโ€”make that terrifiedโ€”by the failure of senior editors at prominent magazines to jump at a story that would get international attention, especially when those editors professed to deplore the war and want it to end.
