While the manner and optics associated from our withdrawal have been terrible, getting out of Afghanistan is the right decision. Yet the same media apparatus that has been ignoring Afghanistan entirely for 20 years to bring us updates on Biden's favorite ice cream is suddenly covering the situation in Kabul like the second coming of 9/11. Biden's done a lot of stupid shite in 8 months, yet they're choosing to go all in on THIS? This reeks of bad faith, just like that one week they all heaped praise on Trump because he bombed an airfield in Syria.

Not trying to interrupt the pile-on, but beware of drinking the MIC's kool-aid.

In all fairness, this is probably his biggest screw up to date.

*Also election audits are coming out soon.

You guys always make this mistake, The media is not beholden to democrats. The media is owned by globalists/China. When democrats cease being of value they will throw them under the bus with the quickness.

Something feels off about the media going in on Biden re: Afghanistan

So you think the media is going off on him because we are leaving Afghanistan? Have you been under a rock?

I think with Trump gone, they have had nothing other than Covid to drive ratings. People are starting to not even watch Covid related news because it is nothing new. This gives them a big bump in ratings.
