One reason the debacle in Afghanistan happened is because reporters took what WH & Pentagon told them & never really asked questions, dug deep, researched & investigated. And they’re doing it now! They just take their word for things. “Here’s today’s report on how great we are.”

Marianne this makes you sound like a hawk but I understand that that’s not your intention with this tweet lmao, I think you fundamentally don’t understand that so many of these journalists have such a warped perspective in that they see any withdrawal as “bad” period

Maybe that wasn’t the right terminology but I think you misunderstand why the media has taken the tone it has in regards to the withdrawal! They don’t seek to do the deep dive reporting you want them to do because their framing is different than yours!!
