It is one thing to watch the Elitist Media be as unpredictably biased as they go about their business. It is entirely another to watch them inject their biases into stories from the weirdest angles, as ABC’s James Longman just did.
Watch as the network’s Chief International Correspondent James Longman closes out the videotaped portion of his report by foisting the American “forever war” terminology upon an Iranian Kurdish leader who may soon send his troops to take on the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC):

JAMES LONGMAN: And tonight, a whole new dimension is emerging- that the U.S. may be arming Iranian Kurds to fight a ground war. I met exclusively with one of their leaders.
You will know that many Americans will be watching the developments here, very worried about getting involved in another forever war: another war that never seems to end. What would you say to Americans watching now worried that their government is getting involved?
I think the USA owes the Iranian people a country, he says.
And I got the sense from that Iranian opposition leader that he’s hoping for American help to launch that ground invasion. If that happens, it totally changes the dynamic of this war and there are still 17,000 Americans stranded in this region. David.
MUIR: Watching this tonight on multiple fronts- James Longman in Iraq for us. James, thank you.
It is just plain weird to watch Longman try to foist what amounts to American political slang on this leader. He refuses the bait, instead talking about the war more broadly.
This is what happens when toxic Elitist Media cover the most significant stories of the day. The attempt to superimpose their own particular agenda on to whatever it is they’re presenting to the American people, no matter how detached from the public it may be,
Par for the course for the Trump-deranged ABC.

DAVID MUIR: Meantime tonight, the thousands of trapped Americans trying to get out. More than 20,000 flights across the region canceled since the military operation began. Tonight authorities now say some Americans are trying to drive through all of this to other countries to try to get out. Here is our Chief International Correspondent James Longman from Iraq.
JAMES LONGMAN: Tonight the U.S. is scrambling to mobilize military aircraft for Americans stranded in the Middle East as Iranian drones and missiles crisscross the region. Commercial airspace in one of the busiest corridors in the world has ground to a halt. More than 20,000 flights have been canceled since the conflict began. Thousands of citizens spread out across 14 countries pleading for help.
STRANDED TRAVELER: My fourth day of being stuck in the hotel. I'm so, like, ready to go home, y'all.
STRANDED TRAVELER: I am mentally exhausted. So basically the way the day has looked is we are constantly running multitudes of scenarios.
LONGMAN: Panicked passengers stuck on cruise ships, more sheltering in place in hotel rooms. Our Marcus Moore is in Doha and met Ryan Blackman from Texas, who is hoping to get home to his wife and three kids.
RYAN BLACKMAN: I have hopes that every day is going to be the last day that I will be here and ultimately get to go back home..
LONGMAN: Some are making the dangerous drive to other countries just to get out.
STRANDED TRAVELER: We are passing the border to get out of Kuwait finally.
LONGMAN: There’s hundreds of thousands of U.S. citizens living in the Middle East and with weeks of military build-up, there are now questions about an apparent lack of planning. The State Department says they are actively securing planes and chartering flights, urging citizens to call this hotline for immediate assistance. A recorded message saying:
STATE DEPARTMENT VOICE MAIL: The U.S. Is committed to helping U.S. citizens who want to leave the region to do so.
LONGMAN: And asking callers to stay on the line. Some flights are taking off with airstrikes around them. This one leaving Beirut amid the smoke from an Israeli airstrike. The race to get out comes as the war expands on multiple fronts. Israeli forces are already targeting Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed proxy in Lebanon.
And tonight, a whole new dimension is emerging- that the U.S. may be arming Iranian Kurds to fight a ground war. I met exclusively with one of their leaders.
You will know that many Americans will be watching the developments here, very worried about getting involved in another forever war: another war that never seems to end. What would you say to Americans watching now worried that their government is getting involved?
I think the USA owes the Iranian people a country, he says.
