Howard Kurtz' Media Buzz on Fox News Attacks Bergdahl's Platoon

Every military school I ever went to said to trust the guys on the ground, listen to the guys on the ground.

The one thing that makes this toxic and hopefully fatal to The Regime is the boots on the ground speaking truth to power - to powerful liars.

The Regime did NOT see that coming. None of the myriad scandals have this aspect.

I trust that their security is being well attended to.

QY: Is there compilation of ALL the truth tellers' testimony?

If the guys on the ground tell you the enemy has a new weapon that shoots flaming darts from their arse, then you take them seriously. (Stolen a bit from Braveheart...a great movie in which Wallace listened to his guys on the ground.)

[Sam Gamgee]

So the left’s position on this is that the Platoon is lying and Bergdahl really is a medal of honor candidate (sarc) like Obama says.

Swift boating is retained for Jone “I faked my Purple Heart” Kerry only so to turn it around on anyone else won’t work.

Liberals are trying to use this wording because they can’t come up with anything on their own.

That and the fact that even the Taliban never got comfortable trusting a deserter/traitor and at first kept him locked up. (I wouldn’t have trusted him either.)

That and the fact that Bergdahl was hacked that the Taliban didn’t recognize how wonderful he was right away so thought maybe he better try to get out of there. (The so-called ‘escape’.)

So, if the enemy you desert to isn’t immediately impressed with a traitor, it’s only THEN that you deserve the Medal of Honor.

Here is what some lefties told me on Friday night. He didn’t desert. He was sent in undercover to go and spy on the Taliban, while pretending to be a deserter. That is why he was promoted while in captivity. And us common peasants, nor his platoon mates, don’t or can’t know any of this, we should just trust the President.

Howard Kurtz is UNWATCHABLE!!!! FOX should be ASHAMED!!!

[xzins]

I agree. The old media watch show was much better.

Kurtz is a liberal and the last person who should be evaluating the media on a network that conservatives gravitate to.

[xzins]

That is just about the dumbest thing I ever heard.

[Mark17]

This weekend's Media Buzz received an immediate Nielsen rating. I flipped off the TV. Don't watch Media Buzz. It's a waste.

I saw it too. I had to check the station, I thought I was on CNN or some other left wing station. It was BS for sure. I e mailed Fox News and let them know what I thought about it.

[Sam Gamgee]

??

And they know this and we don’t, why?

[BTCM]

When Faux announced his move to their network, I shouted to self—WTF do they need another liberal? I have never liked/trusted/listened/watched this excuse for a reporter.
