"SNIP......

“President Biden is scheduled to address the nation Sunday afternoon to provide updates on the administration’s evacuation efforts in Afghanistan, as pressure continues to mount for his security team to safely transport thousands of Americans and Afghan allies amid growing security threats,” The Hill reports.

......SNIP"

1. I applaud him on this, though I have no illusions the media will treat him with upmost disrespect

going out of their way to throw "gotcha" questions in hopes of creating another negative headline on him, instead of actually trying to inform the public what is happening

Even the reporting of his address is presented in a negative way:

"as pressure continues to mount for his security team to safely transport thousands of Americans and Afghan allies amid growing security threats,”

making the presumption that they haven't been doing that

I have nothing but disdain for these hacks that pretend to call themselves journalists

2. MSNBC just had his disapproval numbers in the 60's for this withdrawal

Can’t imagine why these numbers are so high with 24/7 of everyone criticizing him for 9 days on media.

3. because only the "we miss trump and his 24/7verbal farts" MSM gives a damn..

the narrative is slowly turning..I've said it before...there's a new generation of 20 and 30 somethings who don't give a damn about Afghanistan..they do care about life without covid, jobs, voting rights, gun reform, equal rights, student loan debt, domestic terrorism...Afghanistan..where's that???
