[See NewsBusters for more.] The unfolding disaster in Afghanistan is so bad that, day after day, some prominent mainstream journalists are having trouble parroting the White House’s talking points. Yesterday, Chuck Todd hammered Joe Biden for losing his “competency” card. On Wednesday, reliably liberal Gayle King grilled Biden’s U.N ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield on the ridiculousness of trusting the Taliban. King sputtered, “I heard a White House spokesperson say the other day, I wrote this down, ‘We've received assurances from the Taliban that we will —’ Those words don't seem to even go together to me when you hear them in a sentence.” An incredulous King demanded,   “What stock are you putting in what the Taliban is saying, ‘We have changed’?”
