Why I have no respect for the media

Richard Engel was held captive in Syria for about a week and eventually rescued by rebel forces. The media did not report on this during the time he was captured until his release. He is a foreign correspondent for NBC news. He was recently on Jay Leno talking about his ordeal. I was disgusted when he started talking about the press blackout that was implemented during his captivity. He said "the less they knew about us the better". Don't get me wrong, I fully understand why he was grateful for the press blackout and how that helped save his life.

What chaps my ass is why did the media implement a press blackout on his capture and captivity but the media has no problems reporting on US troop movements and operations?

Who would leak the troop movements to the media? Treasonous assholes.?

Geraldo Rivera should have been charged with treason in 2003 when he drew a map in the sand to show planned US troop movements.

That's just Geraldo being Geraldo.

Fox should fire his fake Hispanic ass.
