Media Matters calls out fellow traveler, no dissent allowed

CNN anchor and chief national security correspondent Jim Sciutto demonstrated on Tuesday morning a top example of mainstream media’s reliance on former George W. Bush administration officials to comment on the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Speaking to longtime warmonger John Bolton, Sciutto repeatedly backed up his guest’s talking points for a permanent U.S. military presence in Afghanistan — and even added a talking point of his own.

 

On Tuesday’s edition of CNN Newsroom with Poppy Harlow and Jim Sciutto, the co-anchor endorsed Bolton’s claim that a permanent occupation in Afghanistan would be similar to having U.S. troops stationed in Germany and Japan ever since the end of World War II and the start of the Cold War.

At 4:19 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Monday, President Joe Biden concluded a speech defending his decision to withdraw U.S. forces from Afghanistan, tapping his binder on a podium in the East Room of the White House for emphasis.

 

By 4:57 p.m., the presidential helicopter, Marine One, was in the air, headed for the presidential retreat, Camp David. For Biden, there was no looking back.

What's up ? Did Trump win some lawsuit somewhere. Media narratives are shifting

Donald Trump has gained some support from an unlikely source.

 

CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin penned an op-ed on Monday calling on Attorney General Merrick Garland not to pursue charges against the former president despite his attempts to overturn the 2020 election and his role in the January 6 Capitol attack.

 

“It’s one thing to describe the former president’s behavior as disgraceful and wrong — and I’d share that view — but quite another to argue that Trump should be criminally prosecuted,” Toobin wrote. “Based on the available evidence, there is no basis to prosecute Trump and little reason even to open a criminal investigation.”
