ORANGE MAN BAD: Drew Holden’s thread on media’s brazenly biased coverage of Trump and Biden on Afghanistan may be his ‘most damning’ yet [screenshots].

🧵THREAD🧵

Today, President Biden announced his intention to end the war in Afghanistan, to great media fanfare.

You may remember, way back in 2019 & 2020, President Trump said the same thing.

Let me know if you can spot the difference in coverage then vs. now⤵️

When Trump said we were leaving, @CNN quoted the NATO Sec Gen with a “stark warning” about how “dangerous” the move would be.

But Biden’s decision? Well, on that one, we just get to hear from his people. pic.twitter.com/b8KHDPNrmN

One of the things I’ve discussed before is how outlets can frame the narrative they want by focusing on people who support or oppose a certain policy. It’s misleading, but also a calling card of @CNN. pic.twitter.com/sypGhatZdZ

And of course: ‘Pelosi vs. Pelosi’: Nancy Pelosi’s position on troop withdrawal from Afghanistan seems to have evolved quite a bit since Trump left office [screenshots].
