The news media is not as giddy to show the fall of Kabul as they did the Fall of Saigon. The indoctrinated media support this president and his actions and to see it crumble they will “hide the decline” to salvage a win for the administration. Then they will bury it to minimize the damage for the next election.
Stupidity has consequences unless it buried on page 13.
Until they figure out how to blame it all on Trump.
Oh, they will. Just give it time. At the moment they're trying to refrain from reporting this story, because all the heads of the MSM and the White House are, as we speak, communicating with each other via some covert means (the Journo-List scandal taught them they needed tighter security), and are currently arguing over the most believable lie that will put 100% of the blame on Trump and 0% on SloJo.
They know that whatever is decided on for the Official Spin, which they will all simultaneously regurgitate in the next few days, it will certainly stink. They just want to limit how bad the stink is, as they can't help but notice the slowly growing numbers of people here & there who used to be aligned with them but who are showing signs of deserting their Lemming Army after suffering through too many cycles of "Swallow the latest Official Spin; Vomit your guts out; Swallow the next latest Spin; Vomit all over again; ... repeat ad nauseum".
