I think we have to be honest about this. All of us in the media. We all need to do better on prioritizing both human rights and foreign affairs coverage.
Reporters and outlets are suddenly paying attention to human rights issues in Afghanistan now that they're used as an argument for more war. For years those same outlets have largely ignored a long list of crises including Yemen, Syria, Haiti, Congo, and, oh yeah, Afghanistan.

What would make you think the Trump admin. would do nothing - even sabotage the system - to get the Afghans out? Not as if they have a grudge against the next administration. Or are bigots and racists. Right, @OliviaTroye?
They deliberately ignore international issues
