MSNBC Hack on Afghanistan: Biden Couldn't Foresee, 'Boxed In' By Trump

Today's Morning Joe offered the spectacle of a stunning contrast between two Democrats, one principled, the other totally cynical, on the issue of Biden's Afghanistan fiasco. On the one hand, Mika Brzezinski. As anti-Trump as ever, but passionately blaming Biden for "leaving to die" Afghans who had helped America. Mika also said that as much as Trump can be blamed, ultimately, "Joe Biden made…

SHOCK: Nets ABANDON ‘Completely Wrong’ Biden’s ‘Saigon on Steroids’

The shocking fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban is such a failure that even the liberal networks on Monday have abandoned Joe Biden (at least for now), hammering the President as “completely wrong” and executing a Vietnam-esque Saigon “debacle.”

Biden’s Border Crisis Worse than Ever; TV Coverage Drops 96 Percent

The illegal immigration influx along the U.S. southern border has worsened every month since President Biden took office, but the liberal broadcast networks have essentially stopped covering the crisis. Evening news coverage was down 96% in July from its peak of 113 minutes in March, even though border encounters reached a 21-year record of 212,672.

'Schmiga... Doom?' Apple TV+ Musical Ends With Liberal Utopian Dream

What could possibly go wrong with a cute, lighthearted musical comedy that on the surface looks to be a fun show? When I saw the first trailers for Apple TV+’s Schmigadoon, I was really excited to check it out. But, knowing how Hollywood is, I tweeted that I’d hoped it wouldn’t be spoiled with liberal politics.

NBC Whines GOP 'Seized' on 'Comparison' Between Kabul/Saigon Airlifts

President Biden’s disastrous foreign policy in Afghanistan had led to the Taliban seizing abandoned U.S. military equipment like helicopters and drones, seizing every provincial capital, and finally seizing the capital of Kabul leaving Americans and our Afghan allies scrambling for their lives. But Sunday’s NBC Nightly News was concerned with how “Republicans have seized on” the very…

Tapper DESTROYS Blinken on Biden's 'Ineptly Planned' Afghan Withdrawal

The president of Afghanistan has reportedly fled the country, the United States flag was taken down at the embassy and secreted away with the ambassador, and throngs of people were seen on video desperately trying to climb into the back of American military cargo planes before takeoff with reports the airport was under fire from the Taliban.

NPR Uses Database for 'Source Diversity,' But Not Viewpoint Diversity

We've noted that NPR's Public Editor Kelly McBride has kept her day job as an executive of the Poynter Institute, the parent organization of PolitiFact. So when Poynter touts something wonderful at NPR, we can assume their liberal partnership is clicking.

Fall of Kabul: Nets Praised Biden’s Order to Withdraw from Afghanistan

As of the writing of this piece, there were reports that Afghan President Ashraf Ghani had fled the country, leaving the capital city of Kabul to advancing Taliban fighters with no military resistance and Americans still scrambling to get out.

NBC's Engel on Afghan Collapse: 'I’m Not Shocked At All'

Richard Engel has described himself as "basically a pacifist." But when it comes to telling it like it is regarding the Afghanistan fiasco, NBC News' chief foreign correspondent is taking no prisoners today. When on his MSNBC show this morning, Ali Velshi asked Engel whether it is surprising "not that it is happening, as much as how fast it is happening," Engel flatly rejected the notion. "No…

ABC Defends Afghan Disaster, NBC Disappointed It’ll 'Haunt' Biden

At any moment, Kabul would fall, the Taliban would return to running Afghanistan, and the victories in America’s 20-year-long war would be largely washed away. All of that was due to President Biden’s decision to hastily pull out of the country and leave civilians to be oppressed. Yet, on their Sunday morning newscast, ABC’s Good Morning America ran damage control for Biden by…
