Joe Biden's media allies have 'turned on him'

Documentary filmmaker Ami Horowitz says Joe Biden's allies in the media have for the most part "turned on him" and his administration.

"We saw that in the George Stephanopoulos interview, we saw it in the New York Times, The Washington Post," he told Sky News Australia.

According to Mr Horowitz, Biden's allies in the media said they "can't cover" for the US President over the Afghanistan withdrawal.

"I was pleasantly surprised they did, and this has translated quite poorly for the president in the polls.

"His poll numbers have been dropping precipitously over the last six months.

"This was one of the worst first six months of any US president – and that has been reflected in the polls – we now have seen a seven point drop since he pulled out.

"Keep in mind most Americans don't really care that much about foreign policy – but this was done so badly, this was executed so poorly that the Americans really turned on him.

"He's now been turned on by the US population."

The fact he, or any leader, has “media allies” is the real issue here.

General Miley is totally inept and needs to practice his woke agenda out of the military. He should be kicked out of the army dishonourably.

He was more concerned in recruiting LGBT than preventing this nightmare.

It’s nice to see a media entity actually talking about the truth

[jlg]

Miley isn’t a General, he’s a politician in uniform and should be fired along with the Sec Defense both more worried about social justice than national defense and military operations.

Milley should not be a general if he couldn’t see this coming!

If Gen. "CRT" Milley didn't see this coming, he needs to be fired or resign. I expect more from the chief military officer of the USA. What a joke.

In all honesty, who seriously thought that this bumbling dimentia patient would ever be a strong leader?

"That was 4 or 5 days ago" is peak arrogance and an utter disgrace. This man must be removed or he must resign.

[TheAlboze]

If Gen. Milley really didn't expect this to happen, he needs to be stripped of his rank.

It’s sad that I have to go to Australian news to get a semi honest news report on what’s going on in American politics.

The people trying to flee was "4 to 5 days ago". Trump left office 7 months ago, but he sure has no problem blaming him.

[muchoCakes]

Screw the polls, Biden and Harris need to be held accountable for this disaster.

[chellchrome]

Yup, we all wanted to get out of Afghanistan, but not like this. Biden doesn't get it.

[justinschraeder]

The words “Biden “ and “intelligence “ should never be used in the same sentence.

[USMCKong]

“That was 4 days ago.” Well according to that logic, you can’t blame Trump because he was a year ago.

[RivanEXT]

They didn't turn on him. They're just trying to dispose of him after he's done his purpose like a used napkin.

[michaelrabenstine]

That general should be stripped of his retirement and everything
