Vanity - MSM Afghanistan Predictions
Vanity | 8/16/21 | Vanity

How will the mainstream media spin the collapse of Afghanistan under the Biden presidency? My call: "You know, the Taliban isn't so bad now... being out of power for two decades has mellowed them."

KEYWORDS: afghanistan; msm; propaganda

The part hat befuddles me is how they are all reacting to the “plight of the women and young girls.”

And they never suggest that the basis for all of this is fundamentalist Islam.

Its as if they think these Taliban simply wrote the rules all by themselves: “Hey guys...I have an idea. Let’s marry off 14 year old girls to the guys in the army!”

But Christians are bad.

Shaking my head.

It is Donald Trump’s fault.

It will quickly be relegated to the dustbin of history. Pushed aside and tossed away, making room for the next “crisis.”

One of the first things they will do will be to start whining that Muslims in America are fearful because there will be an increase in “hate crimes” against Muslims. They will pivot away from what is going on in Afghanistan and make it about right wing intolerance.

This foreign policy disaster will not deter the communist domestic agenda one bit. They will continue their relentless push to transform this nation into their vision of utopia, with them in complete power for years come.

Kabul has fallen, yet the borders remain open, inflation unchecked, the "infrastructure" bill set to become law, girls being altered to become boys and vice versa, mask mandates, the hunt for "White Supremacists" and Jan 6 "insurrectionists" is top priority for FBI, and on and on.

MSM controls the narrative. There are already cases of Twitter and Facebook pulling down negative press. The MSM masters will order more negative press pulled down, and they’ll go back to global warming vis-a-vis TS Fred and Grace and the COVID “pandemic.”

My bet is this entire thing is wiped clear of the media’s collective narrative by Friday.

No, they’re pretty much painting it as a disaster. But as to blame then depending on the news site it’s either entirely Biden’s fault or it was Trump who screwed it up for Biden to inherit.

Resident Pundit appearing on CNN,NBC,MSNBC,CBS,ABC Professor Noeitall:
“Once again America and the world is having to deal with the consequences of an unprepared illegitimately installed President who took office over the more qualified candidate that quite frankly no one now even in the other party can dispute after the events unfolding in Afghanistan. It's going to take time for the Biden administration to clean up the mess that they inherited and we have to be patient as they sort this out. I think it would have been interesting to see how things would have turned out if you had you know a foreign policy professional running things because this could have been a second term for a Clinton administration and because the outcome would have been so different and right now I think the American voters are being to realize that and now regret that missed opportunity of having the best prepared most experienced person to ever seek the Presidency.”

IMHO, Big Media has accidently blurted out the truth, but it won’t last. Once they realize it, they’ll spin and spin and spin this as Trump’s fault.

I didn’t say it would work - just that this is what they will say. The question was “How will the (clueless) press spin this?” That is what I answered.

The barfghan mudslime atrocities have been numerous already and that should be driven home by President Trump.

Note that the MSM won't show any of it, but IndiaTV has a long reel of dead bodies. My understanding of Hindi isn't that great but watch the third panel on the right -- despite IndiaTV blurring the video, one can count at least 8 bodies (at least one partially disrobed) along and behind a 'yellow zone' of a government-ish building in Kabul.
