25. This Story Is Like So Many Before It

All media outlets rush to stick a microphone in the hands of the nearest Republican. First impressions are vital so they are more than willing to jump at the chance.

Then someone decides it is time to fact check things -- as the media should have done in the first place. Then we learn that the preponderance of the early reports are false but this gets scant coverage. But this time the consequences are more dire because Bergdahl's parents have received a number of death threats and security had to be provided to the family for their safety.

In the latest onslaught Sen. Saxby Chambliss is saying that reports that Bergdahl was tortured and put into a cage is dismissed as false. What does Chambliss base this on? The film of the release where they don't see signs of torture. Hardly convincing. And remember that Bush pulled troops out of Afghanistan to fight in Iraq so things had gotten out of hand in Afghanistan and that was where things stood when Bergdahl left his post.

Oh, and here is a link providing more data.
