SheehinJihad, you got it. The reporter set up and knew he was meeting the enemy just to get some big story. Probably all those liberal articles along with the payments they dropped was the pay off. Just saw one of their articles, so anti-U.S. it was so anti-American and doubt it was even true.I didn’t trust it happened.

And I offer up prayers of comfort for his family too. This has to be a terrible time for him and them – we need to keep them in our daily prayers.

The Times wanted to protect it’s own, and did whatever was necessary to do so, because they valued the life of their reporter and they vigorously fought to prevent his exposure.

The Times does NOT want to protect the life of an American soldier. To them, he is the enemy, and their actions prove their desire to get the soldier killed, hopefully in a public beheading….covering that will sell more papers than keeping it quiet and the soldier less apt to be used for propaganda before his execution.

They understand from experience how important it is to keep a close secret when an American is captured by those afflicted with the disease of Islam…that is why they jumped at the chance to expose our soldier as quickly and as thoroughly as they could…..to them, he is not worth protecting….he isnt a “reporter”….so to them, his life has no value. They flat suck hippo diarrhea. Tube worms have a better sense of values.

Dear Lord and God.
Please, rescue PFC Bowe Bergdahl with your Almighty Power, your Holy Spirit and army of angels. Lord perform awesome miracles. Please, Lord wrap and fold your safe arms around Bowe. Dear Lord, hold Bowe next to your heart and breath comfort and peace into very being.

ABC News suggested bribes may have been used for the two reporter’s escape.

Over the weekend, New York Times executive editor Bill Keller hinted at some behind-the scenes effort to set up the escape, saying he could not talk about “the circumstances that were created at the end” for Rohde’s escape.

The press basically has the attitude that if it’s on the Net, it’s news.

Really, if the news didn’t cover it, aside from the 30 or so devoted followers of the various martyr websites, who would know or care that the Taliban/Bin Laden/kook of the day posted a new video to the net?

If World War II were being fought today, we’d be given content updates on the nightly news whenever Tokyo Rose had a new broadcast along with full transcripts in the NYT.

I’m curious xo. How did you find your way to this website?

Not trying to insult you personally, but this whole site is essentially dedicated to showing the hypocracy and total lack of objectivity of the msm. Most posters here are contemptuous of journalism, as practiced by the msm.

Hopefully, you approach your work from a different perspective than does the msm.

I’m first starting out my career as a journalist– especially in this business, most young journalists are (over)ambitious and cutthroat. I’ve already been tipped off on international relations stories that I know would boost my career, but I (and my editor, who agreed with me) decided it was best to hold off until all risk to the family passed by before I could report on it. There are still some journalists out there who will place respect for a human being over pushing their own career– and I know one day that I’ll thank myself for that. My prayers are with the soldier’s family, and I can only help that the AP can respect their privacy during this incredibly painful time.

Disgusting. I knew about this because the soldier is from here. While us Army wives know how to gossip, the fact that we all apparently kept our mouths shut and NYT couldn’t is just amazing. My prayers are with his family.

I’d like to hear what David Rohde has to say about his employer publicizing Bergdahl’s capture vs the silence surrounding his own. Will he speak up?

Well it’s the “good of the country” that these clowns at the slimes would release that. They have only themselves to blame when the gray lady finally goes down.

If the Slimes financial woes continue, which enemy of the US will be the one to win the prize to keep the fish wrapper alive?

The competition should be intense.
