9/3/21 Gareth Porter on the Media’s Reaction to the Withdrawal From Afghanistan
Gareth Porter joins Scott on Antiwar Radio to discuss his latest piece about the media’s reaction to Afghanistan. Porter lays out how virtually the entire media ecosystem is arguing the withdrawal was done prematurely from both a counterterrorism standpoint and in terms of the evacuation of American citizens and allies. However, the media is ignoring the root of the problem was the overconfidence the U.S. Military and Intelligence Community had in the Afghan National Army. Porter argues that that is where the blame ought to lie, rather than squarely on Biden. Now Porter thinks we’ve reached an inflection point, with historic calls for those responsible for these disastrous wars to be held accountable.
Discussed on the show:
- Gareth Porter’s page at the Grayzone
- “Afghanistan collapse reveals Beltway media’s loyalty to permanent war state” (Grazone)
- news.antiwar.com — better than CIA briefings according to Chalmers Johnson
- “Surprise, panic and fateful choices: The day America lost its longest war” (Washington Post)
- “Top defense firms spend $1B on lobbying during Afghan war, see $2T return” (Responsible Statecraft)
- Joe Kent on Tucker
