What's been missing in the coverage of Bowe Bergdahl's return
Rolling Stone writer and former soldier Matthew Farwell tells Brian Stelter about Bowe Bergdahl based on the 2012 article he collaborated on with the late Michael Hastings.
Stelter started the segment with this commentary:
Before we go any further on this Bergdahl story, I have to say something about the press's role here. This story is not just about whether he deserted. His actions may have been deplorable - we have to wait and hear his side of the story.
But it's not just about him. This story, at its heart, is about ending the wars that have defined the first 14 years of this American century. It is also about facing the moral and legal consequences of holding so many prisoners for so long at Guantanamo Bay.
Here's something to keep in mind, something I wish the press have made more clear this week in the coverage. I fact-checked this with the State Department on Friday. These five Taliban prisoners? They were released partly because the Obama administration concluded it could not press charges against them. It did not have evidence to put them on trial.
We, the public, have turned away from Gitmo. We've definitely turned away from Afghanistan. But the press can and the press should pull us back. The press should encourage us to pay attention to these issues.
I think the media has an educational role to play here. As President Obama said on Monday, this is what happens at the end of wars.
But sometimes that's hard to see when you watch TV and all you hear is - well, fear-mongering.

803362 579220Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone! 686934

There are incredibly plenty of details that way take into consideration. This is a excellent examine talk about. I supply the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly you can find questions just like the one you retrieve in which the biggest factor will probably be in the honest great faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around such thinggs as that, but Almost certainly that your chosen job is clearly labeled as an affordable game. Both kids have the impact of simply a moment’s pleasure, throughout their lives.

Excellent show today, Brian, and i sure appreciated your outrage on the Bergdahl story.
Don't you think it's now time to officially abandon the fiction that Fox is running a news operation rather than blatant partisan agit-prop?
