ABC and CBS nightly newscasts once again skip covering Americans trapped in Afghanistan
Fox News
Mainstream networks ABC and CBS once again skipped covering the Americans still trapped in Afghanistan during their Wednesday nightly news reports, opting to exclude the plight of those most affected by the Biden administration's broken promise to evacuate all U.S. citizens before withdrawing all remaining military personnel from the war-torn country.
NBC dedicated just two lines in their Afghanistan report to the left behind Americans, with anchor Lester Holt briefly noting that the Biden administration was still relying on the Taliban to facilitate the extraction of stranded Americans, and reporter Andrea Mitchell simply stating at the end of her report that there were indeed Americans still trapped in Afghanistan with no clear path of escape. All three networks did, however, dedicate time to arguably less important subjects, with ABC talking about the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, which is still two and a half months away, and CBS talking about new inductees into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. NBC chose to spend more time on the controversial removal of a Robert E. Lee statue and the conservatorship of Britney Spears.More Related News
