NY Times mocked for piece on 'Biden doctrine' following Afghanistan exit: 'Is this a WH press release?'
Fox News
The New York Times' became the focus of intense mockery over what was seen as a puff piece seemingly praising President Joe Biden's foreign policy, despite the debacle that took place amid the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan last month.
The U.S. ended its near 20-year involvement in Afghanistan on Aug. 31, withdrawing all troops as the Taliban cemented its control over the war-torn country. Biden faced intense criticism for his handling of the withdrawal and ultimately broke his promise not to leave until all Americans were safely evacuated. According to White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, there are estimated to be around 100 Americans still left in the country, many of which, he claims, want to remain. Critics took to social media to slam The Times, with one pointing out that U.S. allies have been highly critical of Biden's handling of Afghanistan, citing the U.K. Parliament voting to hold him in contempt and criticism from the potential replacement to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Armin Laschet.More Related News
