NewsBusters Podcast: Media Hang Tough on Afghanistan, But Can It Last?
With a torrent of news to discuss about the disastrous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, weekday evening/Sunday morning analyst Nick “Night Train” Fondacaro and I had plenty to talk about on Wednesday’s episode of the NewsBusters podcast. We first dove into litany of liberal journalists that have provided admirable and stinging coverage holding the Biden administration to account on…
Psaki Runs into Buzzsaw of Journos After Biden Ducks Afghan Questions
President Biden stuck to form Tuesday by refusing to take questions after his speech on the end of the war in Afghanistan, so they fell to Press Secretary Jen Psaki and she found a cadre of reporters who were loaded with queries on topics such as Biden’s “angry” tone, Biden checking his watch during Sunday’s dignified transfer or remains, blaming Americans for not getting out in time, and…
Nets Skip Biden Checking Watch at Dignified Transfer, Families Speak
On Sunday, President Biden spat in the faces of the grieving families whose loved ones, service members were killed by a suicide bomb at the Kabul airport last week. As their bodies were being tended to during the dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base, Biden repeatedly looked down at his watch as if he was counting the minutes until the inconvenient photo op was over. Meanwhile, the…
No Doocy, No Problem: WH Journos Step Up, Hammer Psaki on Afghanistan
Hours before the U.S. military announced the official end of the war in Afghanistan, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki took heavy fire on Monday afternoon from a litany of establishment liberal media outlets, Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich, and usual cast member Philip Wegmann over the administration’s handling of the withdrawal, what to say to those being left behind, and whether America is now…
Friday Fire: Doocy, Wegmann Press on Bagram, Working With the Taliban
Despite it being a Friday afternoon after a long, difficult week for the country, many in the White House press corps kept up the heat against Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Afghanistan with Fox’s Peter Doocy, the New York Post’s Steven Nelson, Real Clear Politics’s Philip Wegmann, and even some liberals testing Psaki’s patience.
Real Squad: Doocy, Wegmann, Colleagues Push Psaki for Answers on Bombs
Less than an hour after President Biden addressed the nation early Thursday night on the deadly terror attacks at the Kabul airport, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki took to the podium and continued her terrible, horrible, no good, very bad return from vacation as reporters from across the spectrum kept up the heat in seeking answers on the collapse of Afghanistan. Thursday’s episode of…
'Kill List': Nets Spike Biden Admin Giving Taliban Names of Americans
According to a disturbing Politico report from Thursday, “U.S. officials in Kabul gave the Taliban a list of names of American citizens, green card holders and Afghan allies” so they could be allowed through Taliban checkpoints. And President Biden admitted in a press conference that evening that the report could very well be accurate. But none of the broadcast networks cared to…
Doocy BATTLES Biden Over Whether He’s Responsible for Afghan Terror
After hiding for hours since word came in that there had been a string of deadly bombings at the Kabul airport, President Biden addressed the nation early Thursday night and, thankfully, he not only took questions, but he went off script to call on the perspicacious Fox News’s Peter Doocy and RCP's Philip Wegmann. In Doocy’s case, he found himself in a back-and-forth with Biden that, at one…
Ex-Pentagon Chief of Staff SLAMS Twitter for Taliban Propaganda Posts
On Thursday afternoon, former Secretary of Defense Chief of Staff Kash Patel torched Twitter for hosting the Taliban, following horrific terror attacks on American troops in Afghanistan. Just the latest proof of how the social media site allows terrorists to post, but banned former President Donald Trump. Patel appeared on the Fox News Channel's Outnumbered to explain the current…
The Beat Goes on: Doocy, WH Press Keep Crushing Psaki Over Afghanistan
After almost an entire week away on vacation (aside from an August 23 briefing), The Psaki Show hasn’t exactly gone swimmingly for the Biden administration and, like Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday was no exception as Press Secretary Jen Psaki had little in the way of friendly reporter questions as Fox’s Peter Doocy had the cavalry on his side in pressing on issues surrounding the collapse of…
DOOCY DEMOLITION: Peter Asks Psaki If Taliban Has Equal Sway as Biden
Appearing almost four hours late in the White House Briefing Room, Press Secretary Jen Psaki faced more excellent questions Tuesday afternoon over the Biden administration’s handling of Afghanistan. As was the case on Monday, Fox’s Peter Doocy led the way with questions about vetting Afghan refugees, whether she’d take back her claim that people aren’t “stranded” in Afghanistan, and whether…
STUDY: Actual News Is Hard to Find on Today’s Cable ‘News’
Less than one-fourth (22.3%) of what is aired on cable news could be classified as old-fashioned hard news — just-the-facts reporting or live as-it-happens coverage of an unfolding event. Instead, nearly 80 percent of what’s on cable news these days consists of talk-show discussion and opinionated commentary by the anchors.
Fox News Hammers Psaki for Playing Semantics with 'Stranded' Americans
As America witnessed on Monday, the Biden White House was determined to play ludicrous games with rhetoric and attempt to gaslight the American people who already didn’t trust them. The epitome of this display was featured in the White House press briefing where Press Secretary Jen Psaki got into a spat with Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy over whether or not there were Americans “stranded…
BEATDOWN: Doocy, Wegmann Shellack Biden WH on Afghanistan Failures
To go along with two horrendously bad Pentagon press briefings and another at the State Department, the White House joined in Monday afternoon with a shellacking at the hands of the press corps on Afghanistan. For this installment, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Press Secretary Jen Psaki took fire from all angles, ranging from Fox News to NPR. Led by Fox’s Peter Doocy and Real…
