I was hoping it was Chris Matthews or someone equally appalling. Oh well...

[allendale]

Did Biden leave already? Oh well.

[depressed in 06]

We have journalists! Who knew?

[JimRed]

A member of the enemedia gets kidnapped, and we are supposed to be upset?

[McGruff]

the pro-Russian insurgents told the Associated Press that Ostrovsky was “suspected of bad activities.”

Sounds like a spy.

[AppyPappy]

Vice News?

I guess I don’t watch enough TV.

[skeeter]

How about a prisoner exchange?

Barack Hussein Obama, I mean Bush for the lib trolls out there, has made the entire world such a wonderful place. We’re all friends now. How ‘bout that first American “black” president?! Isn’t “fundamental transformation” just grand?

[longfellow]

These russians are so behind in the times. that’s sooooooo 80’s mindset.

[Obadiah]

There’s more where that came from!

[Hulka]

Wait. . .don't the kidnappers know journo's are protected by the first amendment and enjoy freedom of the press!!??

Do I have to. . . . . .

VICE Media is an Uber-lib Internet media/news group targeted to the Hipster crowd, that used to be based in Montreal, and is now in Brooklyn.

They use wild stunts to gain attention, and will likely have an IPO soon. These are the people who PAID Dennis Rodman to go to North Korea last year.

Fox Media supposedly has a 5% Stake, and supposedly Omidyar is involved, too. They will likely have an IPO soon.

At least they know who their enemies are!

With luck they will send him to Siberia in a skinny bathing suit!

[McGruff]

Here he is asking a probing question.

Mr. Ostrovsky was in custody, according to a report from the Russian news site Gazeta, translated by The Interpreter. The report also said that the separatist leader appeared to answer a call from Mr. Ostrovsky’s family in front of journalists.

The press conference was briefly interrupted when the journalists’ parents rang Ponomarev, the leader of the Slavyansk militia, who gave assurances that their son was doing well.

His reports from Ukraine are absolutely amazing, he is always right in the middle of the maelstrom, brave journalist of the old variety.

It is kind of funny how more than a few posters here are basically traditional fascists who think that kidnapping journalists to censor news is a good tactic. I wish these people would get the hell out of the US and move to Russia where they will no longer be bothered by pesky freedom of the press.

Also hilarious to call a guy running around

[McGruff]

Here he is again with that mystery Stay Puff soldier that seems to be all over the place.

In this photo taken on Sunday, April 13, Simon Ostrovsky, right, stands next to a Pro-Russian gunman at a seized police station in the eastern Ukraine town of Slovyansk. Ostrovsky, a journalist for VICE News, has not been seen since early Tuesday.

Wonder if he's still smirking.

[VanDeKoik]

We have more where that crawled out from!

[CodeToad]

I have no sympathy for anyone going to foreign nations. This nation was created for us. If you want our rules and law you stay here. If you want theirs, fine, but don’t complain when bad things happen.

This might be embarrassing to Obama!?!? These Journalist should dutifully bight the bullet (or the pillow) and say something less provacative like they are “reluctantly embedding” with pro-Russians.
