Four American Journalists Dead Within a 24 Hour Period
February 14,2015
staff of the Ridgewood blog
Ok is it just us but four American journalists dead Inside the US within the past 24 hours? First Ned Colt of NBC dropped dead of a stroke yesterday.(. he was “supposedly” kidnapped during the Iraq war for several days, then freed?)
Bob Simon of CBS died in a car crash yesterday.. (he also was “supposedly” kidnapped held captive for 40 days in an Iraq jail. David Carr of NY Times just died suddenly interestingly enough after interviewing Edward Snowden, and had just come out against Brian Williams from NBC while on CBS ,calling Williams out for lying about being shot down in the Iraq war and then there was Bob Hager the NBC aviation expert now has a head on crash. This us not to mention the Brian Williams debacle and who is now off the air for lying about the Iraq war.
Correction :Bob Hager is fine (https://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/former-nbc-newser-bob-hager-unhurt-after-head-on-crash/255845 ) Longtime NBC News correspondent Bob Hager was involved in a head-on collision near his home in Vermont Thursday. Hager was uninjured; his wife, Honore, was hospitalized with back and neck injuries. Our sincerest apologizes .
Oliver Stone can make a conspiracy movie out of it.
Bob Hager is fine. His wife broke her wrist in the car accident.
Irresponsible journalism!!!!!
During the Gulf War, Bob Simon was taken prisoner by Iraqi forces in Kuwait after he crossed the border from Saudi Arabia into Iraqi occupied Kuwait. His cameraman and sound man were also taken prisoner.
During the Iraq War, Ned Colt and three others on his news team were kidnapped and released 4 days later. Ned Colt retired from NBC in 2009 and has been working for international humanitarian agencies since.
David Carr – he interviewed Edward Snowden and commented on Brian Williams. He suffered from cancer a long time.
Bob Hager – not dead(as noted in the correction to the posting), retired in 2004. He did do 4 or 5 special reports on disasters since then.
Sounds like a conspiracy to me. (or maybe Ancient Aliens).
