The difference between the old stories from Hersh and the new ones is that the old ones have corroborating evidence and documents or images. Abu Ghraib wasn't just alleged by a single anonymous source, there were pictures and other evidence.

It is quite noticeable that the more recent stories by Hersh are entirely based on anonymous sources. And e.g. with the Nordstream article there were quite a few specific facts that were immediately called into question as they contradict public knowledge.
