For the forgotten men of 1st Platoon, Trump's pardon of an officer they helped convict of murder is a crushing betrayal

William Randolph Hearst Sr. (/ h ɜːr s t /; April 29, 1863 - August 14, 1951) was an American businessman, newspaper publisher, and politician known for developing the nation's largest newspaper chain and media company, Hearst Communications.His flamboyant methods of yellow journalism influenced the nation's popular media by emphasizing sensationalism and human interest stories.




Yellow journalism
Yellow journalism and the yellow press are American terms for journalism and associated newspapers that present little or no legitimate well-researched news while instead using eye-catching headlines for increased sales. Techniques may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering, or sensationalism. By extension, the term yellow journalism is used today as a pejorative to decry any journalism that treats news in an unprofessional or unethical fashion. In English, the term is chiefly used in the US. In the UK, a roughly equivalent term is tabloid journalism, meaning journalism characteristic of tabloid newspapers, even if found elsewhere. Other languages, e.g. Russian, sometimes have terms derived from the American term. A common source of such writing is called checkbook journalism, which is the controversial practice of news reporters paying sources for their information without verifying its truth or accuracy.Wikipedia

it is actually a washington post piece.

And the wp is known for its bias. You cannot deny it.

it is just awesome witnessing you whining about the washington post after you initially whined about yellow journalism by the hearst corporation.

all the while gobbling up the bullshit hannity and fox&friends spread with regard to this case.

what a tool. you cannot deny it.

I got nothing from fox or Hannity. It came from several sources. The major source was the military times, regarding the exculpatory evidence and the appeals judge.

sure.

Here is more for you-
The platoon, which fell under the 82nd Airborne Division, was frequently in combat during their deployment. In the days leading up to Lorance taking over, the soldiers had sustained four casualties including the previous platoon leader.

The area the platoon was in was known to be a hotbed of insurgent activity.

Kevin Huber, a U.S. citizen and government contractor, watched some of the events leading up to the shooting through the cameras on a stationary blimp.

“I saw three fighting-aged males shadowing the American patrol at a distance of about 300 meters,” Huber wrote in Lorance’s new court petition that will be presented to the civilian court. “In my experience, they had every indication of Taliban or insurgent fighters because they were armed with AK-47 assault rifles and using ICOM radios while moving along the back wall of the village toward the American position.”

Court records do not indicate that those motorcyclists — if they were indeed the same ones who Lorance later ordered soldiers to shoot — were armed at the time of the shooting.

Daniel Gustafson, who served as the command sergeant major for the battalion over Lorance’s platoon, was located in the tactical operations center that day.

He wrote in testimony that he was 100 percent confident that Lorance’s platoon was being scouted for an impending attack.

“I understand that the three Taliban scouts riding the motorcycle approached Lorance’s platoon from the Northeast, that several insurgents were using ICOM radios and maneuvering into fighting positions to the North, and that a motorcycle rider came down to the West who was stopped, detained, and was found to have [homemade explosive material] on his hands," Gustafson wrote.

Gustafson said in his testimony that he personally knew Lorance and thought well of him.

“The chain of command thought so highly of him that when [the previous platoon leader] was wounded, there were a number of Lieutenants who could have been selected for this tough assignment that would absolutely result in gunfights occurring while on every patrol," the testimony reads.

The review comes after former 1st Lt. Clint Lorance had an appeal rejected by military judges two years ago.

what do you expect the lawyer of the accused to produce? why do you ignore what the directly involved platoon members stated under oath? i know, they are all liars, because they felt like lying, they are homophobic, islamonazis, and so on, and so on.

Honey, they were told to testify against him or be charged with murder themselves . And told if you do, we will give you full immunity. They saved their own hides. He didn’t pull the trigger. They did.

liar. facts were provided to you and you ignored them. have you even read the excellent article in the OP? explain why the army brass, the army judges, his platoon members are all lying to get this one guy. maybe just maybe this guy was a criminal. nah, you rather believe politicians, defense lawyers, and media twats. pathetic, honey.

 

[FitzForShort]

Sorry I'm late. In a just world, Clint Lorance would have been sentenced to life in prison for the murders of two innocent men, the attempted murder of a third, and an assortment of other crimes you all failed to mention. For those of you defending him, you're clowns. Stupid and wrong.

 

[FitzForShort]

Honey, they were told to testify against him or be charged with murder themselves . And told if you do, we will give you full immunity. They saved their own hides. He didn’t pull the trigger. They did.

Depotoo, you deserve a special shout-out. I was one of nearly two dozen witnesses. We turned him in. At no point did I ever get charged or threatened with charges for any crimes. At no point was immunity ever offered or mentioned or asked for. Also, only two people out of a couple dozen pulled their triggers. Literally all of the rest of us outright refused. Next time, instead of spreading lies about people you don't know and can't vouch for, maybe try just shutting the fuck up.
