Afghanistan

There once were summertimes when the living was easy, as the song from the Broadway musical “Porgy and Bess” melodically reminds us. But not this summer, not with COVID-19 still spreading dangerously across the land and uncertainty over what happens next after the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan. Before the entire world became glued to the internet, social media, and summer TV re-…

Mark Levin brought the proverbial flamethrower to Joe Biden on FNC’s Hannity last night as he scolded the President: “You have blood on your hands.” The nationally syndicated talk show host left no part of the administration unscathed for their abandonment of Americans and allies in Afghanistan. 

After Thursday’s CBS Evening News decided it was time to abandon coverage of President Biden’s Afghanistan debacle, on Thursday, CBS This Morning and NBC’s Today show both made the same decision to ignore the ongoing foreign policy disaster. Only ABC’s Good Morning America managed to provide any Afghanistan coverage, warning viewers that the Taliban had…

On Monday's Deadline: White House on MSNBC, frequent guest Matthew Dowd was again oozing praise for Joe Biden over the President's Afghanistan failures as the former ABC analyst also hyperbolically claimed that, like Afghanistan, America is also a "safe haven for terrorists."

The following are some of the most shameless attempts by lib journos to turn one of the worst moments in American foreign policy history into a political win for Biden.

After the last U.S. troops were pulled from Afghanistan, America-hating documentarian Michael Moore got a hero’s welcome Tuesday on MSNBC’s The Beat with Ari Melber. Moore, in turn, treated President Joe Biden like a hero, saying he is “so proud” of him and “we’re all blessed” to have him as our president.

The liberal media’s fever may have finally broken after spending the last two weeks or so heavily criticizing President Biden’s unmitigated disaster of a withdrawal from Afghanistan. On Wednesday’s edition of his show, CNN’s Don Lemon spent most of the hand-off from Cuomo Prime Time demanding people be “level-headed” and “stop beating up on” the President. He even went so far as to…

The continued decline of substantive Afghanistan questions continued on Wednesday’s edition of The Psaki Show with a shift towards the coronavirus and Texas’s abortion law, but ABC’s Stephanie Ramos and Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich kept up the heat with questions for Press Secretary Jen Psaki on the embarrassing collapse of the country following a two-decade war. Specifically, they honed in on a…

The cover of the September 6 issue of People magazine is all about actor Val Kilmer and his “harrowing cancer battle.” But there in the table of contents was this surprise on page 50: “Crisis in Afghanistan: Veterans and refugees reflect on the end of America’s longest war.” This was amazing: in five pages of text and pictures, Biden only shows up in one pull quote: "The scenes...they…

Unbelievably, the CBS Evening News thought the day after President Biden’s arbitrary deadline to get Americans out of Afghanistan was the perfect time to drop the subject completely. There was absolutely no mention of Afghanistan on their Wednesday newscast but they found the time to dedicate over two minutes (2:05) to bashing and decrying Texas’s new pro-life law. And while they…

Greek mythology tells the tale of Erysichthon, the powerful King of Thessaly. The story goes that Erysichthon, seeking wood, ordered the trees in a sacred grove to be cut. When his workers refused, fearing divine retribution, he did it himself; for this he was cursed. The curse placed upon Erysichthon was simple: unending hunger. In the end, Erysichthon ended up selling his daughter into…

With a torrent of news to discuss about the disastrous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, weekday evening/Sunday morning analyst Nick “Night Train” Fondacaro and I had plenty to talk about on Wednesday’s episode of the NewsBusters podcast. We first dove into litany of liberal journalists that have provided admirable and stinging coverage holding the Biden administration to account on…

It’s Week One of MRC’s newest video series, CensorTrack with TR. This week, we talked about Shana Chappell whose heroic son was killed in Afghanistan on August 26th. Her heartfelt lament on Instagram regarding her son’s death granted her a disabled account. We also discussed Congressman Thomas Massie R-KY who posted what Twitter called a  “misleading” tweet regarding vaccine vs natural COVID-…
