If there is such a moment, the love affair between the Biden administration and most of our traditional media seems precarious.
Joe Biden, known as the “norm returner,” should have been everything Donald Trump did not possess. Calm, calm, a planned person, rarely tweets, progress, etc. All major media predict that his government is a great government and will make the United States rational again.
But the last few days have proved that even with the Democratic government, you can still get negative reports.
Withdrawal from Afghanistan is an absolute nightmare for any politician, but for presidents and party leaders, it seems to be just the beginning. The media reports are absolutely cruel. When you make your own “Saigon” comparison of one of your policies, you know it will be a difficult week (It might underestimate it a bit).
Jake Tapper, Savannah Guthrie, Brianna Keilar, and Mika Brzezinski have all participated in the Biden administration’s handling of the crisis in Afghanistan.

From an editor’s point of view, CNN does not have these at all, which is really bad.
Tapper quoted Ryan Crocker, Obama’s former ambassador to Afghanistan, who raised serious concerns about Biden’s ability to lead the United States. “I have some serious questions about Biden’s ability to lead our country as commander-in-chief,” he read. pic.twitter.com/n3W1eyNfPL

Now, of all the networks that clearly stand on a particular side in the Trump era, CNN’s transformation now seems to be the most shocking. The Internet that has praised Biden since he took office is suddenly not in the president’s corner.
We seem to be considering an editorial shift at CNN, at least for now. Since Chris Cuomo’s reliability is effectively marginalized, it seems that the editing direction is almost set for Jake Tapper. He may be one of the most famous main presenters, has participated in military issues stories and became an ardent supporter of the US military, and the absolute collapse of Afghanistan is one of the problems that can and should really bring him to the forefront of the Internet.
We are really in a mess and tragedy that cannot be ignored. Social media is flooded with local stories in Afghanistan, and the Internet is interviewing combat veterans to understand their reactions. The influx of pictures and videos will only show the American people how bad the situation is there.
Then you have a Absolutely catastrophic The public’s response to the crisis and critics. It shows how unprepared you are, how lazy your talking points are, and how far we are from “the responsibility ends here.”
And, of course, partisans can argue that this is the fault of the preliminary agreement reached by Trump and the Taliban, but if the agreement is not legally supported, the current executives are not bound by the verbal agreement of the previous executives—and Trump does. No. In addition, for those who think Trump is responsible for COVID-19, the economic shutdown, the riots on January 6 and many other issues, Biden has not taken responsibility for the absolute failure of the policies we now know . His own White House.
We know that he ignored the suggestions of military leaders.
We know that he did not consult our allies.
We know that he weakened our allies when we retreated.
We know that he hid while the matter unfolded.
This is simply too much, and even the friendliest media cannot ignore it, especially when the trust in their institution is so weak. Maybe if their own approval ratings are worth mentioning, they can better support the president they want, but they can’t afford it now. In fact, they may be listening to the ratings rather than the echo of their own bubble and trying to solve the problem.
Some people speculate on Biden’s leadership. People also don’t believe that Kamala Harris can manage the government. This is the hand that the Democratic Party gave to itself, and now everyone has opened their eyes because the media cannot simply ignore it. This is one of the most embarrassing crises in any presidential administration, and there is no escape.
