I spoke to a veteran communications professional who has been trying to place prominent voices supportive of the Afghanistan withdrawal on television and in print.
They told me it has been next to impossible.https://t.co/mBQy5AnCuq pic.twitter.com/iuhQ1qXDiJ

Tell me you’re surprised
Every single word about Afghanistan that comes out of the mouths of every talking-head on FOX, Newsmax and OAN is a “palpable, damnable lie.”
If these Fascist propagandists were lying for altruistic reasons then they might be forgiven for their sins.
But the Fascist, Capitalists at FOX, Newsmax, and OAN (Washington Times, NYPost) are lying for profit only and that is just f****** evil.
Because the management at CNN and MSNBC (NYTimes, Washington Post) are a collection of Establishment, warmongers, they too lie about the situation in Afghanistan for profit.
They just don’t do it as often or as egregiously.
The BBC ain’t no bargain either in the truth department.
Note: Speaking about misinformation, there are 1000 US combat troops in northeast Syria and not the 3500 that were once there.
Apologies for that, but those 1000 US combat troops have no business being in Syria and Biden should bring them home immediately.
