  • Je crois qu’on devrait toujours parler à un journaliste de la même façon que Seymour Hersh répond au téléphone… Seymour Hersh interview: On his Bin Laden story, the New Yorker, journalism, and his own bad mood.

    Chotiner: If people here are turning down stories because of certain politics—you yourself said it was easier in Europe—that is a story that should be written.

    Hersh: Now you said the first intelligent thing you have said. If you had asked whether he didn’t run this because he is in love with Obama and all that stuff that people think, no … It is a very good question. Although we have huge disagreements. My children and I have huge disagreements. I have a huge disagreement with my dog. We have a lot of disagreements and there are times when he will call me and I will not answer the call. Oh fuck hold on. He always has said to me he welcomes any information and it was I who said fuck it.

    Chotiner: OK but you have talked about the New Yorker’s Americana and said my question was a good one, so is there something to it?

    Hersh: I think it is a great question.
