So what would you call a journalist who’s so shameless that they’ll actually defend these catastrophic policy blunders from the Biden administration?
Unfortunately, that’s not the setup to a joke, and there are multiple correct answers: MSNBC’s Joy Reid, CNN’s Brian Stelter, Salon politics reporter Amanda Marcotte, professional Biden compliment dispenser Matthew Dowd. All of them (and more) continue to dig in their heels and insist that things in Afghanistan are proceeding in an acceptable, even praiseworthy fashion.
