Over a year since President Joe Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, we are still finding out how much chaos and destruction that decision has cost the United States both from a reputational and national security standpoint. The latest shoe to drop came Tuesday when the Pentagon released a report that showed how much the deadly and incompetent withdrawal hurt the credibility of the United States. According to the Pentagon, the United States' retreat from Afghanistan was a "propaganda boon" to China because it reportedly was used to prove that the United States cannot be trusted to uphold its commitments or responsibilities abroad.
This latest revelation was ignored by all three evening news broadcasts: ABC's World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News. Instead, the "big three" networks hyped an interview with now-disgraced actor Will Smith after his widely publicized slap of Chris Rock.
During Fox News Channel's Special Report, guest anchor Trace Gallagher turned to correspondent Gillian Turner to report on what the Pentagon found in their report. "Gillian, the Pentagon has issued a new national security report on China. What’s the finding there?" Gallagher asked turning to Turner.

"President Biden's own Defense Department is reporting the withdrawal from Afghanistan that he ordered last year which resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. Service members, in the end, was a propaganda boon for the Chinese government," Turner revealed.
"It’s a damming claim out of DOD," Turner added in apparent shock over the transparency of the report from the Department of Defense.
Turner ended by revealing that the Pentagon is "reporting Chinese officials capitalized on the botched withdrawal to convince world leaders that the U.S. is no longer a reliable partner or ally. The White House, though, keeps insisting that operation was an unprecedented success."
This bias by omission by the three networks was made possible thanks to lucrative sponsorships from Fisher Investments on ABC, CarFax on CBS, and Prevagen on NBC. Their information is linked so you can let them know about the biased programming they fund.

GILLIAN TURNER: Well, President Biden's own Defense Department is reporting the withdrawal from Afghanistan that he ordered last year which resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. Service members, in the end, was a propaganda boon for the Chinese government. It’s a damming claim out of DOD. They’re reporting Chinese officials capitalized on the botched withdrawal to convince world leaders that the U.S. Is no longer a reliable partner or ally. The White House, though, keeps insisting that operation was an unprecedented success. Trace?
