On our flight and getting ready for takeoff


She did incredible on the ground coverage, and good for her, especially as a woman in that space. Give her Fredo’s job when she lands since she earned it.

Now we’re going to be flying a bit more blind.

CNN ordered her out. She was contradicting the administrations messaging.

Cant tell the truth and stay.

CNN will send in Baghdad bob to report

She’s a fricking blonde woman in Afghanistan. Honestly I did a floating sales job in McAllen, and my predecessor was a blonde that was there for 5 months, and I thought THAT was a wildly irresponsible. This is a hundred times that. She did a damn good job. Reward good journalism when good journalism is done.

I’m going to give her the benefit of the doubt that that was poorly worded. She’s had basically nothing but venomous things to say about Biden’s handling of this.

Looks like a super spreader event… I assume all of those people will be quarantined… yeah right.

Anyone have a cite to that allegation? I saw her on the street standing up to Taliban bullies and trying to help Afghan friendlies.

To be fair she meant it was bizarre how friendly they were acting (to her and her crew) while simultaneously chanting death to America.

She said it, but poor choice of words is acceptable given everything else she did. She should get the Pulitzer.

We REALLY don’t want a thread that explores the paths of Middle Eastern and Central Asian toilet customs.

I saw the clip, it was more of an observation:
"they're chanting Death To America, and yet they seem friendly (to us)... pretty bizarre"

In her defense, she's a white woman within earshot of a bunch of them. Don't think her survival instincts would let her say "what a pack of savages". And pretty sure she was telling them the camera feed was live the whole time.

She was Incredible. Anyone giving her shite needs to take a step back and let go of their bias, screw cnn, they are an enemy of the people.

But she has been fantastic, and I can’t help but wonder, if that’s a reason she is leaving.

It’s because she’s probably the hottest woman most of them have ever seen in person, and at the end of the day the Taliban are all simps.

Did she change into a stewardess uniform so she wouldn’t offend anybody on the plane?

Seriously. Her reporting is a major reason people in America are actually paying attention and have a sense of the fubar in Kabul. There is no amount of money you could pay me to do what she did last few days. Glad she is out safely.
