Pablo Torre Finds Out - How The Onion Won the Infowars Sale

Summary of the video: Alex Jones and his company, Infowars, profited from their vile Sandy Hook conspiracy. Then America's finest (fake) news source decided to troll the world's greatest troll. Ben Collins — who transformed from reporting on the historic Infowars defamation trial to buying out his "ideological enemy" in a Storage Wars-style auction saga — tells Pablo Torre why The Onion committed to the ultimate bit: doing the right thing.

Highly recommended documentary called "Cover-Up" about Seymour Hersh. 10/10

I just watched this and thought it was riveting! It's a documentary on Netflix that details the career of Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh. He broke some amazing stories such as:

  • The My Lai Massacre (Vietnam War): Hersh exposed the 1968 killing of hundreds of Vietnamese civilians by US soldiers, a story initially suppressed by the military.
  • The Abu Ghraib Prisoner Abuse (Iraq War): Hersh broke the story of the torture, humiliation, and murder of prisoners by US soldiers at Abu Ghraib prison in 2004.
  • CIA Domestic Spying & Secret Operations: Hersh also reported on illegal CIA activities in the 1970s (domestic spying and experiments on Americans) and investigated the secret U.S. bombing of Cambodia.

Forgive me if this has been posted before, but I did a search on this subreddit and didn't see anything about it.

I really hope Joe can get Hersh on the show before he dies. (He's 89.)
