NBC originally reported the WH had a choice between Griner or Whelan...had to change it.

That’s Unfortunate – NBC Reported White House Had to Choose Between Brittany Griner or Paul Whelan, Biden Chose Griner – Then NBC Changed Report
quote:
Just an ancillary side note to the U.S-Russia prisoner exchange.
According to an original article from NBC, the negotiations for the prisoner swap included an exchange for either LGBTQ+ hero Brittany Griner or U.S. former marine Paul Whelan.
The Russians would swap either U.S. citizen for the return of arms dealer Viktor Bout; however, the White House would have to decide which American they wanted in return. The White House decided there was greater benefit to getting LGBTQ+ hero Brittany Griner returned, and left Paul Whelan in a Russian prison.
Original:
Obviously, this context of the NBC report makes the Biden administration look bad.
A political and ideological decision within the selection of the Biden administration preference. Realizing this, perhaps after contact from the White House, NBC stealth edited their story after publication in order to eliminate the political problem.
Revised:
Even with the modified and carefully worded changes, it looks like Joe Biden chose the trans basketball player over the former U.S. marine, which, given the arc of history, does seem to make sense.

Paul Whelan should have identified as a transwoman to give him better odds.
White man need not apply.

Newspeak is real. Just change all historical reporting and act like it was never the original. Orwell would be proud.

White Male Marine or Freak dope smoking lesbian covered in tattoos ...
Shows the priorities of the US Administration and D.C. and how much they hate the country.
Maybe the military should finally say enough is enough? Problem is a majority of the General are corrupt and compromised too.

Paul Whelan did not check enough woke/liberal boxes, period!

DISGUSTING!

We may not be evaluating this swap in depth.
BG could have been an arms dealer too.
She may have been caught smuggling a weapon.
She may have had a big black hammer in her shorts.
Paul Pelosi was nearly killed by a hammer

Incorrect. But please continue to make this a Griner vs Whelan situation.

So a trade of one person or none?
That doesn't even make sense.

If the Biden administration had any balls they would have gotten both. Griner ain't worth an arms dealing terrorist.

I feel that way most days I get on this board as well.

If 100 people feel one way, yet you CONSTANTLY feel the other way, maybe it’s not them

You have zero idea if it’s incorrect or not.

That’s because your worldview is skewed based on your sexuality.

The part I quoted is incorrect. The edited version makes it clear there was no choice to include Whelan.

I think most logical people would wonder if the edited version occurred at the request of the administration due to the backlash. Obviously it’s counter to the original info they had. And the edit is a bit vague.

How does this sit with the Military, “ leave no man behind “. WTF?
