Seymour Hersh, whose New Yorker stories uncovered details of torture at Abu Gharib prison in Iraq, discusses his work and addresses the state of U.S. journalism in an age of rampant media consolidation.  An investigative reporter since 1969 when he broke the My Lai story and subsequent cover up during the Vietnam era, Hersh continues to be a controversial and insightful commentator on American foreign policy.
