Afghanistan

In the days after 9/11, one of the harshest critics of President Bush was, predictably radical mockumentary maker Michael Moore. Now, on the day before the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Moore gave an interview to The Hill and bizarrely praised Joe Biden's graceful exit from Afghanistan. Has he been in a cave?

On Friday’s episode of The Psaki Show, Fox’s Peter Doocy capped off a busy week with newsy questions about President Biden’s Thursday call with Chinese President Xi Jinping and why is it that millions of Americans are being subjected to President Biden’s rash of Covid vaccine mandates but not illegal immigrants.

Washington -- How could a comic figure from the world of politics such as President Joe Biden suddenly become such a tragic figure on the American scene? One minute he is bringing all civilized observers to laughter by telling Katie Couric that former President Franklin Roosevelt dealt with the 1929 stock market crash by getting "on television" and reassuring his fellow Americans as only FDR…

CBS This Morning co-host Gayle King on Friday offered a disgusting assist to Hillary Clinton, aiding the Democrat’s partisan attempt to deflect blame from Joe Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. At one point, the 2016 presidential nominee tried to insist voter suppression was the real threat. King started with a relatively mild, and obvious, question about the President’s…

Ahead of President Biden’s early Thursday evening speech calling for more forced vaccinations and touting masks, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki took to the Briefing Room podium and faced fire from Fox’s Peter Doocy and Real Clear Politics’s Philip Wegmann on Afghanistan and also CBS’s Weijia Jiang and ABC’s Rachel Scott about the sudden change of heart on vaccine mandates.

Out of sight, out of mind. That’s the message the broadcast networks sent Wednesday evening as ABC and CBS chose not to follow up with the over 100 Americans still trapped in Afghanistan, some even being held on airplanes on a tarmac; reminiscent of the Iranian hostage crisis. Meanwhile, these Americans President Biden abandoned were only an afterthought to NBC.

With a week off from the briefing room (having switched off with colleague Jacqui Heinrich) and the Labor Day weekend, Fox’s Peter Doocy returned Wednesday with plenty of questions for Jen Psaki about the Americans stranded in Afghanistan, the Taliban government having more people on the FBI’s Most Wanted List than women, and if engaging with them means they’ll be granted global legitimacy.…

It’s Week Two of MRC’s newest video series, CensorTrack with TR. This week, we talked about Big Tech’s apparent discomfort showcasing anything pro-military. Big Tech has been busy censoring conservatives while the world is in uproar over the failed attempt of the Afghanistan withdrawal, natural disasters, and COVID-19. The first case came from Congressman Richard Hudson (R-NC) who…

With the Biden administration abandoning hundreds of Americans and our allies to be victimized in Afghanistan and reports that the State Department was hampering efforts to get them out, they desperately needed some good press. And ABC’s World News Tonight was more than willing to help them steal credit for getting a Texas mother and her three kids over the border to a neighboring…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough uses the great work of the American military, invokes the spirit of 9/11, and the generosity of Americans welcoming Afghan refugees, to deflect criticism from President Biden over his Afghanistan fiasco. Scarborough says he is "really proud" of America, and offers not a word of blame for Biden.

American soldiers killed in recent suicide blasts in Afghanistan were honored last week by the Texas Rangers baseball team. Thirteen U.S. soldiers were remembered for falling in defense in liberty Aug. 26 in the ISIS-K attack at the Kabul Airport. The University of Nebraska also held a touching tribute to America's first responders.

Paul Mirengoff at Power Line ably called out Washington Post media reporter Jeremy Barr carrying water for all the left-wing media monitors. The Post headline is "TV news takes heat for relying on former defense officials as Afghanistan pundits." But the "heat" is all cranky liberals. The…

On Friday's PBS NewsHour, Washington Post columnist and MSNBC weekend host Jonathan Capehart insisted the fiasco in Afghanistan would be a "momentary blip" in the President's approval numbers. 

ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, and MSNBC all avoided mentioning a Reuters story on a July phone call between President Biden and then-Afghanistan president Ashraf Ghani where Biden implored Ghani to project the perception of victory over the Taliban, whether it was "true or not."
