We lose more and more creditability as the MSM keeps telling the world and us we don't deserve it.

It's a self-fulfilling mantra by the media. I never heard this about Vietnam...and they never blew up anything or anyone in the US. Isn't 20 years enough for 9/11 or was it really about more than 9/11?

1. Money

The war was a gold mine for defense contractors.

2. If I recall Vietnam, there was no criticism. Just deadly silence for 20 years.

And then, the movie Platoon broke the ice.

3. It was initially about 9/11, but the PNAC architects which were the foundation of the entire

bush administration, changed the entire direction of our country, and made "nation building" the prime directive.

It is no different than the mindset of Manifest Destiny in this country on a global scale, or the colonialism of the Europeans

4. Over 120,000 evacuated from Afghanistan......

a world effort where the USA was the lead. That in itself is a feat most countries around the world will see with pride. There was no transition between shithole's administration to President Biden's administration.

6. The MSM are playing with gasoline and matches right now.

They know what they are doing. We have talked about it for years. It’s ratings, it’s money, it’s about keeping the electorate on edge and fighting mad. It’s about their ability to push and pull and influence who is in political power, and moving the needle back and forth.

They are not reporting any more.
They are not being journalists.
They are not being responsible to anyone save their network bosses.
They can break the future of our Democracy, then report on it and wonder why we, the electorate, didn’t work harder to avoid it happening.

I love Rachel Maddow. I was thrilled that she decided to stay with MSNBC.

As of yesterday, due to their continued propaganda rich ‘reporting’, I have now crossed MSNBC off my cable viewing and internet surf list. They earned that action along with CNN back a couple weeks ago.

7. All excellent points.

The Fourth Estate has become a Fifith Column.

10. Thank you, I actually

Just wrote to Rachel at MSNBC.

I know she won’t read it. I know it won’t make it past the ‘electronic mailroom’. But I do feel better now that I got it off my chest.

I wrote an intro, and then included the comment that I wrote here a few minutes ago.

Time to Boycott for a bit. I will come back, but I need to speak with my virtual feet at least for awhile. Love Rachel. I am so PO’d right now.

11. Thank you..Boycott is the only way to change the narrative

ending with his failed coup
