Fox News and ALL the freaky media who pushed Fox lies owe Bergdahl and family grovelling apologies. [View all]

Last edited Sat Jun 14, 2014, 07:07 PM - Edit history (2)

Two years in a steel box, 5 years total in prehistoric confinement, passed through several groups of captors at how many different locations, barely able to withstand the light of day.....the freaky fockers need to get down on their lying lie stained knees and kiss the feet of this family they purposely and/or negligently tried to destroy. And for what? Why? To keep up with the latest news cycle outrage, is that what they have rotted away to? That is the American media, the guardians of American democracy?

Screw them all, screw all the freckling media, they deserve the highest derision we can all heap on them. Pile it high on top of their mounting heap of crap atop Bullshit Mountain.

Again, what freaking part of innocent until proven guilty, innocent before charges are even laid, America leaves no soldier behind, the American tradition of rescue over abandonment, what freaking part of any of that do the media traitors not understand?

Desertion by a soldier? How about desertion by an entire national media? You both stand accused.
Shall we move to punishment before the trial?

edit 2: "American Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, while held prisoner in Afghanistan, was locked in solitary confinement for two straight years and did not see another human face for that entire time, senior military sources with knowledge of his "reintegration process" told Fox News.

Officials said Bergdahl, during that period, only talked to his captors through the wall of a six-foot-by-six-foot metal box, in which he was kept.


The box was just big enough for him to stand up straight and stretch his arms. If he was ever taken out of the box, Bergdahl was apparently hooded. Bergdahl told officials that this treatment started immediately after he attempted to escape captivity."

Keep it up, freaky Fox, the next metal box is for you.

Edit 3: Fox News Must Die

http://crooksandliars.com/2014/06/fox-news-must-die

"There is one reason this country is stuck in an endless loop of obstruction and hate, and that reason is Fox News. If the results of this survey doesn't prove that, have a look at others with similar outcomes.

Fox News must die. It must either die with Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch, or it must die from a lack of current viewers. But however it happens, it must die, because if it doesn't, it will destroy the shreds of American democracy that remain. It's not enough for us to keep shouting about them, or Media Matters to point out how wrong they are on so many levels. Their death must be the result of visceral rejection.

I don't know how to do it yet, but I guarantee you I'm going to give it a lot of thought. We can't afford the stupidity that comes with their echo chamber."
