Now, of all the networks to have clearly taken a particular side during the Trump era, it is the about-face from CNN right now that seems to be the most shocking. The network that has heaped a lot of praise on Biden since he took office is suddenly not in the President’s corner.
It seems likely that we’re looking at an editorial shift, at least for the moment, at CNN. With Chris Cuomo’s reliability effectively sidelined, it looks like the editorial direction is almost made for Jake Tapper. He is probably one of the most well-known of the major hosts to have worked on military issues stories and be a fervent supporter of the U.S. military, and the absolute debacle that is Afghanistan is one of the issues that could and should really bring him to the forefront of the network.
We’re really at a point where there is simply too much chaos and tragedy to ignore. Social media is being flooded with stories from the ground in Afghanistan, networks are interviewing combat vets about their reactions, and the pictures and videos flooding in do nothing but show the American people exactly how bad it is there.
