Military Insider: Another Right-Wing propaganda outlet revealed

Being a disabled vet gets you on a lot of email lists. Military Insider is one of them. While I had always noticed a sort of right-wing cast to their world-view, the current mailing just astounded me with its heavy-handed propaganda campaign to turn the military against one of their own. If you really care to read any of these shit stories, you can find them on the website. I'm only posting the headlines to make my point, bolding the flurry of Bergdahl stories and the nasty slash at Obama. I had never seen anything quite this blatant on the site before.

I wonder how many troops in Afghanistan and Iraq have done something similar but face no charges. The whole thing is politically motivated.
