Afghanistan

In all my many years of blogging MSM outbursts against Republican presidents, I've never seen anyone angrier Richard Engel about Biden's Afghanistan fiasco. Well, there was Keith Olbermann. But for present purposes, let's leave aside the clinically disturbed. In a piece with which Morning Joe opened today's show, Engel absolutely unleashed on the Biden administration. Rolling heartbreaking…

Less than 24 hours after the networks savaged Joe Biden’s debacle in Afghanistan, CBS on Tuesday switched into spin mode, touting the “defiant” President and ignoring ominous polling for the Democrat. CBS This Morning reporter Ed O’Keefe mostly repeated talking points from Biden’s blame-everyone-else speech on Monday: “President Biden defiantly defended his position defiantly to pull…

While the networks abandoned President Biden yesterday after his botched withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, the late-night shows still had his back. Liberal hacks Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert used their supposed comedy shows to defend Biden by blaming the debacle on President Trump instead.

On Monday, Tom Nichols, a radical left-wing writer for The Atlantic, had the audacity to blame the American public for the catastrophe in Afghanistan caused by President Biden. Desperate to protect the Democrat commander-in-chief from his own disastrous failure, Nichols lashed out at the U.S. population for its “cheap patriotism.” 

CNN's Media Unit was incredibly unhappy on Monday when conservatives on Twitter mocked CNN reporter Clarissa Ward reporting from Kabul on New Day: "Chanting death to America, but they seem friendly at the same time. It is utterly bizarre." It is bizarre to imagine you'd feel it's a friendly reception when people wish death on your…

Grim images are rolling out of Afghanistan, as the capital city of Kabul fell to the Taliban and the Afghan president flees the country. The debacle has shocked even the mainstream networks, who are comparing it to the U.S.’s chaotic withdrawal from Saigon…

Brian Williams, after praising Joe Biden's speech about Afghanistan on Monday, turned to his guest for comment and experienced a brutal reality check that countered the expected narrative.

With President Biden being forced to defend his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan on Monday, the reporting on the CBS Evening News cut deeper than others as they spoke with veterans who fought there, lost limbs there, and the families who lost loved ones there. CBS Pentagon correspondent and Navy veteran of Vietnam, David Martin got them to open up about how they feel and whether…

The major broadcast networks continued their welcome stance on Monday afternoon of holding President Biden accountable for the embarrassing collapse of Afghanistan and the peril Afghans and Americans have found themselves in. After Biden’s speech, ABC, CBS, and NBC lambasted it for having “missed the moment” in failing to “accept responsibility” for this “catastrophe” he’s caused and explain…

Following President Biden’s address to the nation in which he doubled down on his horrific failure in Afghanistan, MSNBC’s left-wing propagandist Nicolle Wallace was equally detached from reality as she falsely claimed the vast majority of Americans agreed with the disastrous policy – despite the opposite being true. She even attacked the media for not being supportive enough of Biden.

On Monday’s edition of The Lead, CNN’s Jake Tapper probably put it best when he said that President Biden had to be “forced” to make a public statement about his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, which left thousands of Americans and allies trapped in Kabul and scrambling for their lives. Immediately after Biden delivered his address and left without taking questions – to return…

During a testy interview with White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on Monday, NBC’s Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie demanded answers on the administration’s catastrophic failure in Afghanistan and how the foreign policy “fiasco” could possibly be salvaged. When the top aide attempted to play word games, the anchor slapped him down.

Today's Morning Joe offered the spectacle of a stunning contrast between two Democrats, one principled, the other totally cynical, on the issue of Biden's Afghanistan fiasco. On the one hand, Mika Brzezinski. As anti-Trump as ever, but passionately blaming Biden for "leaving to die" Afghans who had helped America. Mika also said that as much as Trump can be blamed, ultimately, "Joe Biden made…

The shocking fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban is such a failure that even the liberal networks on Monday have abandoned Joe Biden (at least for now), hammering the President as “completely wrong” and executing a Vietnam-esque Saigon “debacle.”
