When did he go to Russia, within the last 13 months? I have little sympathy for any American going to Russia these days, even journalists. The first amendment doesn’t apply there.

the vagner group might offer him a job. embedded journalist on the front lines. aka, fresh meat.
Yeah, they could have shlepped Matt Taibbi over there and nobody would care if he got arrested.

Me too because I'm on the fence about whether he is brave or stupid. Outstanding journalists DO go to dangerous locations and war zones and put themselves at risk to show the world what is happening.
On the other hand, some places are simply too dangerous and shitty-- like North Korea or Alabama.
Whatever the story is, after this I'd expect a helluva of a lot less journalists in Russia. Putin really is striving to make them a hermit country like N. Korea.

Disagree. This is what reporters DO, they go to places that most of us would avoid to get the story.

so he is brave, maybe too brave.

Normally I would agree, but there are places where Americans do not go. I submit that places actively holding Americans hostage should Be among those places.

Side note: Do we know if Slug is a dual citizen? Wouldn't it be hilarious if he visited Russia and got arrested?
