Kenneth Bae and Matthew Todd Miller are back in the USA, and perhaps a bit of surprise is in order. James Clapper,
Director of National Intelligence flew in secret to Pyongyang to bring them home, but of course you'll have a hard time finding mention of that fact on Fox News, who gives sole credit to Dennis Rodman, who claims he begged Kim to release the American Prisoners. I'm sure he did, but I'm sure there was a bit more involved in getting them home. Bae made a public statement thanking all who helped and worked so hard to get him out of the north Korean prison farm including
" President Obama and all the people at the State Departments; they working tirelessly hard to get me released as well. "
Fox Sports mentions only that Clapper, who "reportedly" traveled with the president's "approval" as though he might have done so on his own or at the direction of Dennis Rodman. That's about as likely as the possibility that any arm of Newscorp would acknowledge anything productive having come out of the executive branch. Better to imply that it was all about Rodman and a presidential adviser acting on his own initiative.

I don't know if they noticed this, but Dennis Rodman is black too. Praising him is a major slip in Fox News' vaunted journalistic integrity.
Journalistic what? It doesn't seem to matter whether they contradict themselves or how plausible their fabrications. It's religion, not science or fact and the flock follows like sheep.
