1. I stop following the coverage

The corporate media made money off the war and now they are throwing a tantrum.

So no more reading or watching news about Afghanistan for me. I'll check it out again in about 6 months when the truth will catch up with the lies.

14. I agree!

Along with friends, I marched, demonstrated in the heat of summer, cold wind of fall, rain of winter and spring. Rode the train to DC and San Francisxo (3X) to join mass marches. I heard all the lies, read about the corruption and waste. Wore a T-shirt that had an ever changing number of lost lives.
I do not want to hear the corporate media beating its chest and pulling out its hair. There were thousands, millions of us that knew it was wrong. I have no patience and no time to waste gazing on the carpet of bull shit being rolled out now!

2. #Turnthechannel when the media begins its unwarranted criticisms....

..I refuse to listen to their blah blah. This withdraw was genius....and brave of Joe.

[MrModerate]

3. The most obscene version of bothsiderism is when the media attempts to manufacture failure...

When reporting on success.

[soldierant]

22. Bothsiderism exists because of a misunderstanding of the word "fair"

There is a too-common belief that "fairness" consists of treating both (or all, if more than two) sides equally. It doesn't. Fairness consists of treating all sides justly. And that requires a whole heck of a lot of truth and integrity.

The common understanding of "fair" is like someone convicted of assault/battery and sentenced to prison saying, "It's not fair! I have to go to prison, but the guy I hit doesn't!" (Sound familiar?)

"Fair" (or "fair and balanced&quot journalism is not, in fact, fair at all when administered under this misconception. It's merely bothsiderism.

I'll go with "truthful and accurate" reporting over "fair and balanced" any day.

26. Well said. nt

[soldierant]

40. Thank you.

Words do matter.

[treestar]

4. oh geez, now they have to go on about "losing" the war?

That kind of war is not winnable. Since we had nukes, nothing is as simple as that.

[PhylliPretzel]

10. We won the "war"

in two months. Then the occupation began, and an occupation is not winnable as no one wants to be occupied.

[Moebym]

20. Bingo

There were no other missions, let alone a humanitarian one.

5. James Carville nails it.

[Wounded Bear]

6. K & R...for truth...nt

[Rebl2]

7. Well I have

to agree with him.

[leftieNanner]

8. I turned off Rachel last night

When she brought on Mrs. Greenspan.

Andrea Mitchell has been shameful for a long time.

Thank you James Carville for telling the truth.

[Kittycow]

9. That's refreshing to read!

[IronLionZion]

11. Media is trying to win back Trump supporters

after 4 years of "fake news", that ship has sailed.

[PatSeg]

12. I love Carville's blunt and honest assessment on most issues

He really nailed it.

[Jon King]

13. Lawrence O'Donnell is so rare.

Pretty much the only major media personality that tells Afghanistan like it is and does not allow guests on that don't. He has surpassed even Rachel on this topic.

[Cha]

35. Good to know.. TY

[Omnipresent]

15. The right will want to go back there...

So its supporters can chant “USA! USA! USA! Until their peabrains explode.

[tulipsandroses]

16. It has been disgraceful. Digging for ratings

By whipping up hysteria. Along with being the mouth piece for war mongers. Just a guess, I haven’t looked it up. I imagine ratings are down since trump left office. Biden is, well, boring. We don’t have to tune in to see the latest atrocity by the US president. Because it doesn’t exist with this president. So what’s a cable company to do? Create drama, that will have people tune in

[liberalla]

17. Thank you James Carville. I like hearing the plain truth... and

Joe Biden had the courage and integrity to tell us the truth and to do the right thing.

[yardwork]

18. Good for Carville. Well said.

[onetexan]

19. Love the Ragin' Cajun! Bravo Mr. Carville

[Cha]

37. Aloha, onetexan!

[onetexan]

38. Aloha Cha- teehee such a cute new meme

[Cha]

39. lol.. Always good to see you...

21. It was the MSM's responsibility to inform us that the war was lost a long time ago-nt

[Poiuyt]

23. Well put!

[2abigbman]

24. Could never be won

Roman legions. The British 100 year war charge of the light brigade. The Russians all failed to win the Afghanistan. The Russians left after realizing even their brutality could best the Mujahideen. Our arrogance thought went could modernize a feudal 2000 year man centric culture. Never gonna happen. Anywhere in that part of the world. The people in charge have no incentive in changing. abigbman

[Lonestarblue]

25. Instead of continuing to bash Biden, the media should report on the findings of SIGAR.

That stands for Special Investigator for Afghanistan Reconstruction, and it is a damming report on mismanagement of resources in Afghanistan, the gravy train set up for private contractors, and the inability of the military to deal with the rampant corruption of the Afghan government. The American public needs badly to hear about this report, but the media won’t bother reporting it.

[Blue Owl]

28. K&R

29. What he said!

31. Brilliant, truthful, blunt as usual. Carville the magnificent.

[tenaciousdem]

32. Lie down with lions

They don't call Afghanistan "The Graveyard of Empires" for nothing.

Many countries have tried to conquer Afghanistan but they've all gotten their asses kicked and they've all lost the war despite their superpower status.

War pigs suck!

[Gore1FL]

33. We didn't lose the war.

We went there to eliminate Al Qaeda camps and kill bin Laden. We did that. The only reason we went after the Taliban is because they opposed to us eliminating Al Qaeda camps and killing bin Laden.

We didn't win the peace.

[Cha]

34. Rt TY & JC!
