Afghanistan

On Monday evening, the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) showed just how much they were done covering possibly the biggest blunder of Joe Biden’s presidency so far: abandoning Americans in an Afghanistan controlled by the Taliban. And Fox News Channel correspondent Trey Yingst put it best when he declared “This story is not over” while reporting on how some Americans were finally able to…

On Monday, Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey called out the leftist media for the “silent disgrace” of refusing to cover how Americans are still left behind in Afghanistan following the Biden administration’s disastrous withdrawal from the war-torn nation in August. It’s been hard to find any recent headlines about the foreign policy catastrophe, let alone personal stories about those abandoned by the…

More Americans have died from COVID-19 during the Biden administration than during the Trump administration. That is not the good news for President Joe Biden. Former President Donald Trump initiated Operation Warp Speed. We had Democrats casting aspersions on the efficacy of a would-be and supposedly rushed vaccine. We finally got the vaccine at the end of the Trump administration. The moment…

If there's one thing Democrats would like voters to forget, it's Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Thirteen US military members killed. Untold numbers Americans left behind. The country quickly seized by the Taliban. CNN did its part to advance Afghanistan amnesia this morning. In a New Day segment on Biden's bad poll numbers with poll maven Harry Enten, the Afghan elephant in…

Nearly two months ago, the world watched with shock and horror as the most botched military withdrawal in U.S. history took place. Much of network television has since moved on, including CBS news. But CBS's unique sitcom United States of Al tackled the Afghanistan debacle head-on this week.

During an interview with retired General Stanley McChrystal on Tuesday’s CBS Mornings, co-host and Democratic Party donor Gayle King rushed to protect President Biden from criticism of his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan by dismissing the legitimate questioning as “Monday morning quarterbacking.” She fretted that people weren’t being “fair” to the woefully incompetent…

The same media who wasn’t shy in accusing President Trump of “lying” at every chance they got, is very reluctant to employ these same blunt words about President Biden. The president’s military advisors testified before Congress yesterday and contradicted his words to ABC journalist George Stephanopoulos in August, saying he had support from the military to withdraw from Afghanistan the way he…

On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki found herself as a modern reincarnation of the boy Alexander from the famous children’s book as she faced a torrent of tough questions from reporter after reporter on Afghanistan, the border, and spending. And with little in the way of answers to defend President Biden and his administration’s failures, shortcomings, and spin, the questions…

It’s Week Four of MRC’s newest video series, CensorTrack with TR. This week, we talked about how much Big Tech likes blocking advertisements and promotions for groups, people and content that they don't support --- conservative content. 

Joe Biden hit the low standards that NBC has for the President on Tuesday, politely praising his speech to the United Nations as “normal,” “standard” and “good.” They were clearly doing their best to offer the standard liberal media talking points expected for a Democratic President. However, Richard Engel and Andrea Mitchell also offered some concern and doubt in the wake of the Afghanistan…

It was a tale of two approaches during Monday’s White House press briefing as Fox’s Peter Doocy and select reporters (including even CNN’s Jeremy Diamond) chose to challenge Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Afghanistan, illegal immigration, travel bans, and U.S.–France relations while CNN analyst April Ryan led another group in standing up for Haitian illegal immigrants and spreading fake news…

On Monday's Craig Melvin Reports on MSNBC, analyst Richard Stengel claimed that the drone strike that killed ten civilians in Afghanistan confirmed the "rightness" of Biden's policy of evacuating Afghanistan. 

If a Biden blunder is too big to ignore completely, the liberal media will do the next best thing: move on as quickly as possible. On Friday afternoon, the Pentagon conceded a horrific addition to the President’s withdrawal from Afghanistan as an August 29th drone strike that was touted as killing ISIS terrorists actually killed ten civilians, including seven children. 

As NBC political director Chuck Todd trotted out his mostly liberal panel for Sunday’s Meet the Press, the mood was dreary as they all had to cope with and explain President Biden’s incompetency on multiple ongoing crises, with him on yet another vacation. Some tried to prop up the White House by either touting the mood or by suggesting misinformation was to blame. But the lone…
