    How is accurate reporting "one-sided propaganda"?

    Are you sure you don't have the propaganda thing turned around?

      Scoring points off of captive sailors.

      American sailors.

      As an American.

      Wow.

      Umm, how's that working out for you ... preacher?

      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        The Republican Party propaganda arm (Fox (not the) News) is trying to score points against the POTUS by tailoring the news story in order to get a specific reaction from its loyal Republican audience.
        Reported elsewhere:
        “[The speedy release of the sailors appeared to undermine a number of claims by leading Republicans that President Obama and his foreign policy were somehow responsible for the sailors being taken.
        On Wednesday, opponents of Mr Obama were already seizing on the footage, that showed the US sailors on their vessels and answering the questions put to them by the Iranians.]”

          And they staged the pictures and videos using Fox News operatives?

          Are you REALLY this dense?
