BS, they did not do that.  They did criticize aspects of it, no doubt.  

Without rehashing all this again, you will never convince me that, even with the most perfect, well executed withdrawal, Jake Tapper had the objectivity to not color his coverage with his editorial view on Afghanistan.

Jake Tapper even basically says it.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: people focus so much on left/right bias that they seem blinded to the ways that access can bias journalists as well.

Foreign policy is a great example... there's not a lot of daylight between the Jake Tapper or Josh Rogins of the world and the folks ago were largely in favor of staying in that country forever.

So no, I don't think that journalists were particularly objective during that period.

According to Fox and "Doctor Oz", referring to someone by their name is cancel culture.

And honesty.

Republicans could care less about honesty these days...

You're not paying attention if you don't think CNN is a liberal outlet. They're no different than any other media in that they are biased in their reporting.  The current administrations blunders are so bad and obvious that even the liberal media has to report on it.

So who is unbiased in your opinion?

OAN? Newsmax? Fox? Alex Jones? QAnon?

He does not watch TV.  He gets a buzz cutt every other Tuesday.  He talks to the same people every time.

You're being rediculous and I don't even know why I'm answering you.

There is no unbiased media anymore. They all have an agenda and some are worse than others.  I'm talking about the media outlets in general and not specific shows like Tucker Carlson, Don Lemon, Rachel Maddow etc.  Those are not news shows but opinion shows and at least Sean Hannity admits he's not a journalist.

There's an intelligent response.  I bet it took you a long time to come up with that.

So he watches Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson, and gets his news at the barbershop.

Regurgitating Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson.

Sounds about right for our resident Archie Bunker.

Why is he asking about local issues?  I thought conservatives believed in Washington staying out of the way?  Oh that’s right… the unbiased news channel has an agenda 

[pfife]

issue is probably giving it too much credit, isn't it more an incident?

I’m beginning to think Ducy’s press meeting questions are some type of performance art. I’m waiting for another question about Biden’s dog.
