After a couple of weeks of no word a group of thugs in Gaza now claim they have Fox News Journalist, Steve Centanni and his cameraman Olaf Wilig.
“A previously unknown militant group in Gaza claimed responsibility on Wednesday for the kidnapping nine days ago of two Fox journalists and demanded the United States release “Muslim prisoners” within 72 hours.
“Release what you have, and we will release what we have,” the “Holy Jihad Brigades” said in a statement obtained by Reuters.
Fox News Channel correspondent Steve Centanni and cameraman Olaf Wiig were abducted by masked gunmen in Gaza City on Aug 14 as they were working on a story.
The group did not say what would happen to the two journalists if the United States did not meet their demand to release Muslims in American prisons by the time the deadline expires on Saturday.”
Michelle Malkin has been covering the media blackout/bias/hypocrisy for not covering the story.
If this had been Katie Couric, it would have been all over the airwaves with C-BS demanding this and that. Oh that’s right, she’s too chickenshit to cover real stories, I mean she break a nail or something.

1Malkin is wrong on this one. An order in “memo” form came down to all Fox producers/hosts from the brass, to book no “experts” and to do no wall-to-wall on this, to avoid getting their guys killed.
They were doing everything they could behind the scenes to find out who had taken their guy, what group was behind it, and how to get him (them) back unharmed.
I just wish they’d show the same level of responsibility when it’s somebody else’s “guy” that’s in jeopardy, or accused of something (in legal jeopardy) but not yet “proved guilty,” etc.

2Yes, I too heard that this was intentionally left silent in order not to give power to these thugs.
This is just hardening our resolve even more…
