When Mainstream Media Goes Too Far
I am going to warn you – this video is disgusting.
I’m not a big fan of Fox News at the best of times, but this one goes way over the top. A retired Lieutenant Colonel went on nationwide television and suggested that the Taliban should kill a missing U.S. soldier.
Predictably, the Pentagon and several politicans have jumped up to harshly criticize Ralph Peters. Democratic Congressman Eric Massa (New York) even went so far as to ask Fox News to fire both Ralph Peters and Bill O’Reilly. Massa, a former Navy Commander, said, “Words cannot express how furious I am at Fox News, Lt. Col Ralph Peters and Bill O’Reilly for suggesting that we should leave a prisoner of war behind and allow him to be executed by the Taliban to save us the trouble of trying to intervene.”
