Mainstream networks ABC and CBS nighly newscasts skip left-behind Americans in Afghanistan
Fox News
Mainstream networks ABC and CBS appeared to have moved on from covering the potentially hundreds of Americans left behind in Afghanistan just one day following the withdrawal of all U.S. military personnel from the now Taliban controlled country.
The networks still provide nightly news coverage of the ongoing saga later in the week. They each gave ample coverage to the Texas abortion law that took effect Wednesday and has alarmed advocates of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion. The U.S. ended its mission in Afghanistan on Aug. 31, nearly 20 years following its launch on October 7, 2001. The chaotic winding down of military operations within the country, however, led to sharp criticism of the Biden administration's decision-making surrounding the withdrawal.More Related News
