Yesterday Newsbusters<\/a> posted an article about some recent reporting done by Newsweek. Newsweek posted the following headline, \u201cSeeking World Recognition, Taliban Vows to Help Fight Terror and Climate Change.\u201d I am willing to believe that the Taliban seeks world recognition. I am not willing to believe that they will help fight terrorism and climate change.<\/p>\n

Newsbusters reports:<\/p>\n

Newsweek<\/em> Senior Writer of Foreign Policy Tom O\u2019Connor<\/a> pushed how Taliban Cultural Commission member Abdul Qahar Balkhi\u00a0\u201ctold Newsweek that his group sought worldwide recognition of the Islamic Emirate.\u201d Balkhi propagandized to the outlet how the organization’s drive for \u201crecognition\u201d would be bolstered in part by the terror group\u2019s commitment to \u201cfight terror\u201d and so-called climate change. \u201c\u2018We hope not only to be recognized by regional countries but the entire world at large as the legitimate representative government of the people of Afghanistan,\u2019\u201d Balkhi said in part, according to Newsweek<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is damning that a U.S. publication would lower itself so far down the eco-extremist cesspool that it would attempt to humanize an Islamic terrorist group currently slaughtering people<\/a> in Afghanistan as a result of President Joe Biden\u2019s massive foreign policy failure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article at Newsbusters concludes:<\/p>\n

Newsweek\u2019s decision to provide a megaphone to the Taliban wasn\u2019t the first time a prominent outlet has tried to nonsensically lump the terrorist group and climate change together. Recently, CBS News published an outrageous story blaming climate change for the Taliban\u2019s rise. CBS News climate and energy reporter Cara Korte\u2019s<\/a> absurd story<\/a> was headlined: \u201cHow climate change helped strengthen the Taliban.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

But O\u2019Connor\u2019s Taliban spin was horrific in another context as well. The United Nations reported<\/a> in July that \u201c[m]ore women and children were killed and wounded in Afghanistan in the first half of 2021 than in the first six months of any year since records began in 2009.\u201d The UN said these records followed \u201cthe Taliban offensive to take territory from Government forces.\u201d But that didn\u2019t stop O\u2019Connor from summarizing the Taliban\u2019s absurdity that \u201cmilitants would never again be allowed to launch attacks against other countries\u201d in the first paragraph of his story.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Conservatives are under attack<\/span>. <\/em>Contact<\/em> Newsweek<\/em><\/a> and hold it to account for pushing the Taliban\u2019s talking points.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyone who relies on the mainstream media as their only news source at this time is not hearing the truth. The lies that they are hearing endanger themselves and our country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
