(98,883 posts)attack against Americans by the Taliban during the US evacuation from Afghanistan?
It was the most unprofessional piece of slop I have seen from a so-called reporter. It had nothing to do with reporting the news, but was a complete anti-Biden editorial which had little to do either with the actual event, or the fact that the withdrawal from Afghanistan was based on a trump agreement with the Taliban.
Whether Tapper leans toward being a liberal or not is beside the point, he goes out of his way, as many of the current journalists do, as unbiased, by setting a much higher standard for progressive politicians than that conservative ones, even at the expense of biased misleading reporting.
This started after the Bernard Goldberg book Bias, and the liberal media around 2000.
Incidently, Goldberg would be considered progressive on the social issues, but after that book and his hawking it on Fox News was the beginning of the end of fair reporting in the .
Judy Miller was considered a liberal until the WMD lie.
What the media did to Gore, Kerry and his swift boat liars, Hillary and the complete distortion of the email, are only a few examples of so-called liberal journalists trying to present themselves as unbiased.
This isn't just about Tapper, it's the whole BUSINESS of so-called journalism today.
How many times do we hear the news media tell that Tariffs are another tax on consumers? That the uncertainty created from the Tariffs and trade wars are actually trump's magnificent obsession.
I think not very much.
