Yamiche Alcindor on Afghan FIASCO: Biden 'Not Running Away From Responsibility'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/18/2021 11:08:38 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

It wasn't easy, but we've finally found someone who claims to have believed Biden when in his speech on the Afghanistan fiasco he boasted, "The buck stops with me." And—no surprise—that person is none other than quintessential liberal-media member Yamiche Alcindor of PBS and MSNBC.

On today's Morning Joe, after Willie Geist pressed her hard, twice asking whether the Biden administration understood the gravity of the situation, Biden ally Alcindor responded:

"I think it’s been very clear to me in talking to White House officials that they understood the gravity. This is a 20-year war spanning multiple presidencies. And President Biden didn’t take this decision lightly. It’s why in the speech he said the buck stops with me. He’s not running away from the responsibility."

Did Yamiche Alcindor actually believe Biden when he said the buck stops here and was evading responsibility?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

“We are not about to send American boys 9 or 10 thousand miles away from home to do what Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves.”

Lyndon B. Johnson 1968

“American troops cannot and should not be fighting in a war and dying in a war that Afghan forces are not willing to fight for themselves.”

Joe Biden 2021

This moron doesn’t have an original thought in that brain addled head

I've watched this POS Yamiche Alcindor on PBS news and she is overtly biased for the left and Democrats.

When Truman was in the Oval Office the buck stops here.

With Biden, 90 cents of a buck stops on the way to paying off The Big Guy his usual 10% on the way through to someone else’s responsibility. “Previous Trump policies.”

Plus that buck will be worth less and less due to inflation which is soaring. Try spending it on gas or groceries.

They sure are brainwashed, not too smart either. One would think we should be able to run rings around them, I guess a few people do, like Tucker et al.

I’ve watched Yamiche Alcindor on PBS News hour and her bias against Trump and Republicans is so open that I’m surprised that PBS didn’t label her as a commentator. PBS calls her a reporter which is ridiculous.

Photo showing Biden supposedly poring over every moment of newsfeeds from the trapped Americans in the war zone....

His note says: “Note to Myself: This time don’t forget the new airtime for Spongebob Squarepants Classics and the Power Puff Girls Reunion.
Either record both or this time remember to watch.”

The issue on the table is NOT should we leave or should we stay... The issue was: should we leave with our tail between or legs, with thousands of Americans in harms way, billions of dollars in weapons caches strewn across the hellhole..

Nice thing about MSNBC is they’re consistently vile and biased... MSNBC is one of the few networks where their ‘talen’ knowingly lies. Shame on Yamiche Alcindor...

Specifically, what questions have you asked directly to Biden? Specifically, what questions did respond to? Spokesperson said blah, blah, blah.

Biden continues cower in his basement. He’s waiting for Stephanopoulos to provide him with an interview lifeboat. Imagine if Trump ducked the media and simply decided never to talk to them except in prepared remarks.

Photo: Biden still exhausting himself until every last American is back home safely....

Aide: “Sir, sir, you have to stop sometime and go get some sleep. We’ll awaken you if there’s any news. I know you care so much it hurts but you need rest.”
