Vast Right Wing Conspiracy
The “vast right-wing conspiracy” machine is alive and well in America today. Unless you’ve been buried under a rock since this weekend, you’ve probably seen an interview or two with a former Army soldier who served with Sargent Bowe Bergdahl, the POW who was released this week after being held in captivity by the Taliban for 5 years. From CNN to Fox News to the pages of our nation’s largest newspapers, former colleagues of Bergdahl’s have been popping up, and accusing Bergdahl of being a deserter and a weak soldier.
Well, it now turns out that many of those interviews have been arranged by Fox News contributor and former Bush administration official Richard Grenell. According to Buzzfeed, Grenell’s public relations firm, Capitol Media, has, “played a key role in publicizing” critics of Bergdahl. And, the New York Times reported on Monday that “Republican strategists” had arranged for that paper to speak with former soldiers who had served with Bergdahl and who have anger towards him.
In fact, one of the former soldiers who was interviewed by the media, Cody Full, sent a tweet out, thanking Grenell for the role he played in, “helping get our platoon’s story out.”
So, it now looks like that these former soldiers who have come out against Bowe Bergdahl and his release are just part of yet another Republican-fueled conspiracy theory intended to tarnish the Obama presidency. But should we really have expected anything else?
