Apparently CNN doesn’t think Bowe Bergdahl the deserter should be punished by the American military. You see, according to Brooke Baldwin of CNN, Bergdahl suffered enough under Taliban captivity (which happened after he deserted his unit.) CNN managed to squeeze in a few minutes about the Bergdahl desertion story, in between round the clock coverage of the Germanwings plane crash.

| CNN on Bergdahl: Isn’t Captivity Punishment Enough |
CNN’s Brooke Baldwin slanted towards the sympathizers of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl on Wednesday’s CNN Newsroom, just minutes after the U.S. Army announced that the former captive would be charged with desertion. Baldwin asked special forces veteran Scott Mann, “You have those who…on the opposite end, [are] vilifying him. Again, this is someone who was held…for five years by terrorists. Is that not – this is what some say – is that not punishment enough?”
