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…

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…

On CNN's State of the Union today, host Jake Tapper gets off quite the zinger to end his interview with DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Mayorkas had lavished praise on the Border Patrol, describing their "heroism," and saying he has been "incredibly proud to work alongside them."

The 11th Hour host Brian Williams welcomed Bob Woodward and Robert Costa on to his Wednesday show on MSNBC to discuss the duo's book Peril and all fallout from it. During the interview, Woodward would allege that war with China was more likely than anyone would like and Williams declared that GOP Senators Mike Lee and Lindsey Graham "put the sick in sycophant…

Morning Joe—in the persons of Scarborough, Richard Haass, Anne Gearan, and Willie Geist—tore into Biden's mishandling of the cancellation of Australia's submarine-building contract with France in favor of one with the US. But Biden had one, lonely, backer: Mika Brzezinski. She piped up throughout the long segment, doing her best to defend Biden.   

On CBS’s Late Show Tuesday night, left-wing “comedian” Stephen Colbert eagerly welcomed on The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward on Robert Costa to hawk their new anti-Trump book designed to distract from the massive failures of current President Joe Biden. Accepting all of the wild claims in the book as gospel, Colbert declared that he had to take breaks from reading it in…

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. 

Morning Joe defended General Milley this morning. Promising to tip off China to any attack ordered by President Trump? Why, that's "helpful." Milley "didn't do anything wrong." In fact, "we owe him a debt of thanks!" The only "problem" is that Constitution thingy!  Said David Ignatius of the Washington Post: "The problem is, and I think every single thing that was done by those three…

The most serious charge against General Milley is that, without notifying the President and Commander-in-Chief, Milley agreed to give China advance notice of an impending attack. Yet in defending Milley on Morning Joe today, Joe Scarborough outrageously suppressed any mention of that allegation. Instead he cast Milley as issuing a stern warning to China. 

Of all the people CNN could have chosen to comment on General Milley's calls to the ChiCom military leader in which he promised to give him advance warning of any attack ordered by President Trump, CNN chose one with perhaps the least credibility: Miles Taylor, aka Anonymous, who under that pen name wrote the infamous NYT op-ed, "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration."…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough uses the great work of the American military, invokes the spirit of 9/11, and the generosity of Americans welcoming Afghan refugees, to deflect criticism from President Biden over his Afghanistan fiasco. Scarborough says he is "really proud" of America, and offers not a word of blame for Biden.

After Thursday’s CBS Evening News decided it was time to abandon coverage of President Biden’s Afghanistan debacle, on Thursday, CBS This Morning and NBC’s Today show both made the same decision to ignore the ongoing foreign policy disaster. Only ABC’s Good Morning America managed to provide any Afghanistan coverage, warning viewers that the Taliban had…

While the horrors of the past two weeks in Afghanistan unfolded, the media coverage of America's catastrophic withdrawal from Kabul took a toll not only on their viewers, but also on those reporting the stories- as was the case with Telemundo anchor Aranxta Loizaga.

On the occasion of the last US troops leaving Afghanistan—and in a marked departure from its traditional pro-Biden bias—CNN blasted President Biden today for abandoning American citizens trapped in the country. New Day co-host John Berman opened today's show by speaking of Biden's "broken promise—he said the US would stay to get them out. The US did not stay."
