NYT Editor Keller, On Reporter David Rhode's Daring Escape From Taliban Captivity

[luchamini]

So he jumped a wall and was magically safe? How did he get to safety? Did he walk through the desert? Through mountains? How did he avoid all of the Taliban that he just escaped from? Are they bumbling fools that can't figure out which random white guy in the wilderness is the guy that just escaped?

This screams fake to me.

[Telexkrash]

you're a fucking idiot. After 7 months in the desert, with fully grown beard, fully garbed in the same type of clothing as other people living in the area, you aren't going to look like a white American.

And if you go read the story, instead of expecting some 8 minute youtube video to inform you of all the details, you would know that him and his translator hiked to a nearby Pakistani military base.

[Telexkrash]

Also, they escaped at night, and it wasn't in the wildneress, it was in a densely populated town.

Great they know how to censor shit. Great story... yeah...

[TedinLasVegas]

Sure, suppress information to save a journalist's life but publish information - oft-times w/o ensuring its accuracy - when it threatens soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen.

Hence the reason the NY Times, and other leftist newsources, are increasing ignored by the majority of Americans.

BYE BYE TIMES, go the way of the dinosaur.

[HeathrowSurveillance]

I think your living in some sort of euphoric right wing nutjob alternate universe. The NY Times, regardless of it's bases or lack thereof, isn't going anywhere.

[TedinLasVegas]

REALLY, didn't they just cut staff and are desparately trying to stay afloat?

Boston Globe and the LA Times too!

[Telexkrash]

Ted,

All newspapers are hurting right now, both left and right oriented ones. Try pulling your head out of your ass, instead of constantly bickering about your stale, outdated and irrelevant right-wing philosophy.

NYT, is still the biggest and most successful newspaper in the U.S., and one of the biggest in the world. How many bimbos on Fox News would risk their lives the way the way real journalists at NYT and Washington Post have. Zero.

[LeGioNoFZioN]

that shit is too rich, Keller's logic is flawless, too bad he doesn't enact it in other areas at the same time.

[biggerflexible]

Escape lolololol I wonder how much they paid to get him back llololol.

Great story and great escape! Welcome home!!
