Scheer worked for the LA Times for 17 years.
The LA Times actually did a feature story on Hersh's piece of trash book.
At this time, 1997, Scheer was not actually a reporter there, but he did run a weekly column for them.
This is what he chose to do. With the IG Report right in front of him.
I agree that Scheer's book With Enough Shovels is pretty good. But he was anti conspiracy even before then. If you read Hinckle's wonderful book about Ramparts, he was one of the staffers who did not want the magazine to cover the JFK case. In fact, when I talked to Bill Turner about it, he said Scheer told him that kind of writing was mental masturbation. That attitude served him well at the Times.
