ABC Slams Biden on Afghanistan—'Adrift From The Facts'
The roundtable on ABC's "This Week" was rather rough on President Biden regarding his Afghanistan fiasco. It was encapsulated by senior national correspondent Terry Moran describing Biden as "adrift from the facts." Even NPR's Michel Martin called the withdrawal a "botched operation."
Under Pressure from NBC, WH Blames Trapped Americans for Afghan Crisis
While Secretary of State Blinken was busy digging a hole on CBS by admitting the Biden administration was asking the Taliban for “permission” to evacuate our people on Sunday, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan pulled up in a rhetorical excavator on NBC’s Meet the Press and blamed those trapped Americans for the existence of the evacuation crisis because they didn’t leave sooner…
CBS Gets Blinken to Admit Biden Asking 'Permission' to Save Americans
The Biden administration was having an extremely rough time spinning their Afghanistan failure as they made the rounds on the Sunday shows.

ABC Presses Def. Sec. Austin on Lack of Action to Go Save Americans
A week after the fall of Afghanistan, the response from the Biden administration was floundering as thousands of Americans were still trapped in Kabul and other places in the country.

Snopes Skips Biden Fact Check, Helps Occupy Democrats Blaming Trump
The fact-checkers at Snopes.com haven't done a single fact check on President Biden's statements since the Taliban took over Afghanistan.

NY Times Bashes Biden on Afghanistan: ‘Seemingly At Odds With Reality'
As the situation in Afghanistan becomes only more grim, the New York Times is properly condemning the Biden Administration’s lack of foresight and criticizing Biden’s false statements regarding the US evacuation.

Media’s Failure to Vet Candidate Biden Is Linked to Afghanistan Mess
It was obvious to any sentient observer in 2020. In defending himself on Afghanistan, Joe Biden fumbled his words, made weird comments and generally didn't seem up to the job of being president. And the media pretended there was nothing to see. This week Newsmax host Greg Kelly took the problem head on from a media perspective.

AP's Pro-CNN 'Fact Check' on Conservatives Ruined by Taliban Behavior
On Tuesday, "AP Fact Check" leaped to the defense of CNN reporter Clarissa Ward when Washington Times columnist Tim Young mocked her on Twitter for saying the Taliban seemed friendly.

MSNBC Military Expert Goes Defeatist: 'Nothing' We Can Do
MSNBC military analyst, Ret. Gen. Barry McCaffrey obliterated the admittedly fine line between being realistic and being defeatist on Friday's Stephanie Ruhle Reports where he asserted there is "nothing" we can do for those who fought beside us for 20 years.
Jimmy Carter Is Redeemed
Looking back on the contradictory pronunciamentos uttered by President Joe Biden so solemnly over the last few months on the subject of Afghanistan, what has struck me is how inane they show him to be. When he was affirming that everything in Kabul, Afghanistan, was hunky-dory or when he was sounding the alarm, he was inane. His statements were vacuous. How did this man become president of the…
ABC Blasts Biden’s ‘Breathtaking’ Lies on Afghanistan Catastrophe
Immediately following President Biden’s contentious Friday press conference about the ongoing disaster he created in Afghanistan, ABC News special coverage slammed him for saying things about the crisis that were just blatantly false.

CNN Holds Biden Flack's Feet to the Fire on Evacuating Afghan Allies
CNN New Day co-host Brianna Keilar interviews Biden communications director Kate Bendingfield, and holds her feet to the fire on the issue of Biden's commitment to evacuating all the Afghan translators and other allies.

CBS Finally Covers Bombshell That Biden Was Warned of Coming Debacle
CBS on Friday finally discovered the bombshell Wall Street Journal scoop that the Biden administration was warned by the U.S. embassy of impending chaos if he didn’t change course. Yet CBS This Morning allowed just a scant 50 seconds on the disturbing development. Still, at least the network covered it. NBC on Thursday night and Friday morning is still hiding the revelations.
