Not done to Trump. President Biden was left a steaming sack of crap on his desk from TFG and I can't even watch the news for all the remarks made against our President. Is this new or business as usual?

You don't have to say "Everything is fine" in order to discuss how Trump's foreign policy incompetence directly led to this situation.
And a booking agent has come out and said nobody will book pro-Biden voices for interviews, story was posted here like 50 times yesterday. Are you saying they're lying?

(54,770 posts)Biden could have rectified everything trump screwed up regarding Afghanistan, but for some reason he did not.

(33,643 posts)Undoing all the deals that started going down between the Afghan forces and the Taliban that Trump's Doha agreement instigated would NOT have been a simple matter as you seem to be suggesting.
Trump totally undermined the Afghan government and military force we spent 20 years building, and I'm very confused as to why you don't see that, or want to say a word about it, nor think the media or Democrats should be talking about that.

donate to & vote reQublicOn, so yea most of MSM is normally biased against Democrats.

(33,643 posts)And the GQP is not.
But their biggest concern is very clearly eyeballs and clicks, which means a lot of sensationalizing/trying to spin up maximum controversy.
The M$M doesn't even want to hear from pro-Biden voices right now.

There is journalism.
The two cannot work together faithfully.
