Remember when CNN reported on one of the violent George Floyd riots and said it was “firey but mostly peaceful”? Well, they managed to out do themselves in Afghanistan. The fake news network noted that the Taliban terrorists who were shouting, “death to America” seemed friendly. That’s a “violent but mostly friendly overthrow of the government.”
Nobody in America will watch CNN, so maybe they are trying to attract the Taliban as an audience with this kindly spin:

They’re just chanting death to America, but they seem friendly at the same time. It’s utterly bizarre,” said CNN reporter Clarissa ward.
What isn’t friendly about armed terrorists chanting for the death of America? I guess everything, really.
As you can see in that clip, Ward is wearing a Muslim headscarf so the friendly Taliban won’t rape and kill her (and not necessarily in that order). Yesterday however, reporting from Kabul before the Taliban took over, she had a much different fashion style going:

And that’s because the Taliban put everyone on notice, especially the women:

That’s nice. The Taliban are going to respect women’s rights as long as they shut up and do what they are told.
Hopefully Clarissa Ward lives long enough to spin things when the Taliban starts killing and mutilating women for minor Sharia law infractions:
“They’re decapitating a woman for showing some ankle but they seem polite at the same time. It’s utterly bizarre.”
“They shot a teenaged girl in the face for reading a book but they seem cordial at the same time. It’s utterly bizarre.”
“They gang raped and set a woman on fire for driving but the seem affable at the same time. It’s utterly bizarre.”
The only thing bizarre here is why CNN is trying to paint the Taliban as anything but violent terrorist thugs.
This is the ultimate in Biden-friendly fake news. Joe completely screwed the situation in Afghanistan up and CNN is trying desperately to take the sting off of his spectacular failure. Sure, Biden said the Taliban couldn’t take over the country and they did it in a little under a week. Yes, this happened because Biden is an incompetent boob. But, it ain’t all bad. Those Taliban guys are downright friendly. Who could blame Biden for letting some friendly dudes take over their own country?
CNN has set a new standard for fake news with this hot take. The only where to go from here is to use deep-fake videos showing the Taliban marching in a gay pride parade with their newly rescued puppies.
