ABC Rediscovers Afghanistan Crisis, Ignores Americans Still Trapped
16th December 2021
On Tuesday, the State Department and the White House drew scrutiny after they disclosed that there were still Americans and legal residents trapped in Afghanistan over three months after President Biden abandoned them there. Yet on Wednesday, when ABC was the only network to cover the ongoing humanitarian crisis there, they failed to mention those Americans.
ABC originally ignored the Tuesday discloser. And as NewsBusters reported, World News Tonight, along with CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News, spent a combined four minutes and six seconds covering holiday shipping and carrier deadlines.
