We all know Fox News is just a thinly veiled avenue for corporate propoganda and warmongering. Okay, some of us think Fox News is actual news (I believe this segment of society is normally referred to as ignorami, not to be confused with the Illuminati). But recently, high-profile representatives at Fox News took it to another level.
Pfc. Bowe R. Bergdahl went missing from his post on July 2nd. Later, the Taliban released a video of captive Bergdahl in which the obviously shaken soldier made scripted comments encouraging the U.S. to vacate the region.
Fox News military correspondent Lt. Colonel Ralph Peters responded to the situation by calling Bergdahl a deserter and suggesting that the Taliban should go ahead and murder their hostage. The Pentagon has publicly condemned the Lt. Colonel's comments as "providing aid and comfort to the enemy". Peters then went on The O'Reilly Factor and restated his wildly offensive opinion. Peters actually asserted that Private Bergdahl is a liar and that he was drunk and abandoned his post and suggested that perhaps Bergdahl had willingly joined the ranks of the Taliban.
Another despicable right-wing lunatic to add to the Treason pile.
