untimely death of 33-year-old journalist michael hastings who was killed on tuesday in a fiery crash in los angeles. now, hastings is well known for the 2010 "rolling stone" article that brought down general stanley mcchrystal, and now days after hastings' death, conspiracy theories are around the web and people are speculating whether or not his death was actually an accident, but we have found a video that seems to disprove some of the conspiracy proves. this is dash cam footage shot by freelance reporter scott lane. according to lane, that is michael hastings' mercedes-benz speeding through the red light just before he was killed in the fiery crash. this changes the idea that maybe somebody was chasing him. to learn more about the video we have scott lane via skype right this minute in los angeles. first of all, you are certain that this is michael hastings' car that we see going through the red light.

"new york times" obituary on michael hastings is problematic. they mention that he did a mcchrystal story and then threw two paragraphs on it to basically take away from the story saying, i don't know if you want to believe michael hastings, of course, he's not here to defend himself so i'll do that. one quote from "the new york times": >> in other words well, i mean, he wrote that story on general mcchrystal. by the way that story was not really denied by mcchris mc mcchrystal and he resigned and the inspect general, the military, the pentagon. then they is a said, no, what we did wasn't so bad, and i don't know if that guy who wrote the most damaging article after so long. thank you, "new york times," for being so balanced after the guy dice. do you really believe him or the government. i appreciate that. if you thought that was bad get a load of the tweets from geraldo. we have different things about things, but we agreed on many of the things that we've discussed. so i've got no beef with geraldo whatsoever except this tweet, which i think i

at a minimum they did that to michael hastings. that's sun unacceptable where we now live in a police state where a reporter has to worry. is the fbi looking into me? is someone else looking into me? he is he right whether it's fbi or nsa it doesn't matter. if they are doing an important story, and they think you've got a leaker that you're talking to they're investigating. >> i spoke with someone who is journalist, and we had a long conversation whether or not being a journalist is worth it or not. she's reading about the michael hastings story. she said you know what, i don't know if i'm cut out for this. i don't want to deal with it. it was an example of the government winning of people in power winning and convincing others to shut their mouths. don't do the investigative journalism. don't do anything that will go against the government because it might lead to something that will be devastating for you and your family. >> cenk: all right, if they wanted to intimidate reporters i guess sadly enough mission accomplished. now, it

then you have his friends saying michael hastings drove like a from and -- like a grandmother and they would like a wider investigation. >> listen. >> not someone who would be driving around erratically like that in the middle of the night. that isn't how he was. that just leaves a lot of questions and a lot of digging that needs to be brought up in answers. i'm not going to speculate and say i think anything because that just makes me look crazy. >> that friend would also like to see mercedes-benz get involved, to see if their cars normally explode upon impact. >> shepard: conspiracy theories are all over the internet as they often are. >> they're being fueled by things like the e-mails you just talked about that michael hastings sed out and groups like wikileaks which has issued two different statements about the death. the second one rode, quote, michael hastings contacted wiki leaks lawyer just a few hour before he died saying the fbi was investigating him. the fbi has denied investigating michaelings, hastings, and then there's a statement by the -- richard clark who said it is po

the journalist michael hastings has died at the age of 33. hastings was killed in a car crash in los angeles early tuesday morning. reporting extensively from iraq and afghanistan, hastings widely read stories show the realities of war. his 2010 rolling stone article on general stanley mcchrystal, u.s. commander in afghanistan, sparked a political controversy after mcchrystal and his aides were quoted making disparaging remarks about top administration officials. the article exposed longstanding disagreements between civilian and military officials over the war's direction and led to general mcchrystal's firing. speaking to democracy now! in 2012, michael hastings of the afghan war, like the invasion of iraq, was based on a false premise. >> if wmd's were the big lie of the iraq war, the safe haven myth is the big lie of the afghan war. what i mean by that, and this was true in iraq as well, but 99% of the people, maybe even higher, the people were fighting whether it was sunni insurgents in iraq or shiite militias in iraq or afghanistan, the

michael hastings was actually unafraid. to the point where he radiated a sort of energy that made you realize he was unafraid and it made you treat him different than other people in the business. i remember talking with michael the night that his "rolling stones" story on general mcchrystal popped here. he was in afghanistan at the time. he was about to head out on an embed. i was trying to talk to him about what he had just done and trying to talk to him into the idea that he might want to make his way out of the war zone he was in before the moment at which his reporting would cause the firing of the very popular man who was running that war that he was in the middle of. but michael was in kandahar that night and michael stayed. he went out on the embed. he was unafraid. that merciless reporting he did on general mcchrystal and his staff became the book "the operators." michael's merciless reporting on the presidential campaign became the book "panic 2012: the sublime and terrifying inside story of obama's final campaign

yesterday journalism lost michael hastings. he was a colleague and friend. went we coanchored programs on this network, we often agreed and spars. he emailed me after an argument saying i totally disagree but good times. he told me he enjoyed being on the campaign plains. though as much as michael operated on his own, his passion and mostly preparation always put me at the top of my game. among the many journalist who cover politics clearly michael hastings never aloud affability to cover the truth. that type of journalism didn't die with michael, but it has never been more necessary than it will now. with the secrecy that comes from this white house and this political environment someone has to grag it. i cannot pretend i would do it as he did. but that person is always needed and there's now a huge hole in journalism in the shape of michael hastings. most people are ez imly admonished to rest in peace, not michael. i did know him well enough to know that resting in peace would have seemed like a horrible idea to michael. so instead i'll thank him for alway

cenk: it's hard to get our minds off of michael hastings here, but to talk about his impact on this as the rest of the press dutifully said, we're making progress in afghanistan. the generals say that we're turning a corner. they said it over and over in iraq, they said it over and over in afghanistan, 12 long years we never turned that goddamn corner right? michael called them out on it. he said it's just not true, and he would have great reporting from on the ground, so ironic, because he endangered his life all the time in these war zones and died here in a car accident. that's why there's so much value in real journalism, said the generals are lying to you. it turns out they were lying. we have not made progress. there is a new headquarters, saying they are not going to work with al-qaeda anymore. i got bad news for the american people. we wasted 12 years there. we're broken up, because we knew michael here, but how many people died in afghanistan right? >> the one person who talked common sense with afghanistan years ago was joe biden when they told him that they were spending $60
