Thing is the credibility of US pronouncements from any of its officials is pretty slim if that.

Speaking about credibility a month ago I wrote a column [3] about investigative reporter Seymour Hersh's charge it was the US that sabotaged the Nord Stream pipelines 1 and 2 last September. Hersh's credibility is beyond reproach. Yet US officials dubbed Hersh's charge as "Utterly false".

Who has the credibility here, Hersh or US officials?

That's really a no brainer. Yet Hersh's story was completely ignored in the US MSM. Why?

I guess it didn't fit the "official" narrative the US wouldn't resort to doing such a thing. Please.

What's astonishing it seems many (most?)people in the US still tune in to the MSM. So unless people turned to the alternative media they never saw Hersh's story.

That's a sad commentary the so called free press here in the US would completely ignore someone with Hersh's credibility but give the people dissembling nonsense from a US official like Austin who has shown he has no credibility.
