English term or phrase: Hersh is too invested to turn away.

We live in a cynical time. Lucky for us, Hersh is too invested to turn away. "I think there are great stories to be written about this pretend government and this corporate world we now live in," he told the Progressive magazine a decade ago. Those are the stories he writes. For a recent instance, he wrote in the New Yorker that the government pretended to have evidence that the plant the United States bombed in Sudan in retaliation for supposed terrorist activity was something other than a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility. It wasn't, and we knew it, but we killed people anyway.

Chinese translation:TRY

Explanation:
赫什对新闻工作投入有加，执著至深，（虽面临诸多困难）却始终不离不弃。

一点建议：此句型未必要译成“太...而不能...”的句式，不如发挥汉语表达中重复强调的功能，所以“投入”与“执著”兼用。

因为文中强调赫什坚持原则报道事实真相，所以不宜译成赫什对新闻工作太投入了，以至欲罢不能，容易让读者只是理解成一般意义上的工作认真。
建议译成：太执着于自己的信念了，不愿随波逐流。
