In all my many years of blogging MSM outbursts against Republican presidents, I've never seen anyone angrier than Richard Engel about Biden's Afghanistan fiasco. Well, there was Keith Olbermann. But for present purposes, let's leave aside the clinically disturbed.
In a piece with which Morning Joe opened today's show, Engel absolutely unleashed on the Biden administration. Rolling heartbreaking footage of desperate Afghans clinging to a US military plane as it taxied toward takeoff, Engel quoted a US military official saying the situation is "100-times worse than the humiliating American pullout from Saigon."
Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Watch Richard Engel savage Biden.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Afghans clinging to a US military plane as it taxied toward takeoff,
Did you see the pics of some falling to their death from the airborne planes? Twin Towers redux.
Engel put in a brief report on the NBC nightly news. It was easy to tell that he didn’t agree with Biden’s claims.
Did Morning Blow cut off Engels video feed ?
Someone tech savvy (which doesn’t include me) needs to photoshop the scene in WKRP with Biden as Lester saying “As God is my witness, I thought Afghanistan could fly.” It’s that level of stupidity.
That is a still pic of a plane that is rolling to take off......
I hope some of these media shills get a good taste of real journalism, beyond their usual turd-polishing as they are wont to do. Maybe they will find out they like it!
The headline implies it was Engel saying this, but he was quoting someone else.
Did Mika wet herself?
Did Widdo Jo hold his breath til blue?
This is going well.
Wait until you see the bill Biden hands us for this.
Yes. Infuriating but accurate analogy.
These Ministry of Propaganda goons are just as responsible for this mess as the fools who believed them.
That line was from Art Carlson, not Les Nessman.
No. Mika and Joe have also been on the warpath on Biden’s Afghanistan fiasco.
heres a short video of an Afghan caught in the landing gear.....not for the squeamish...

The only things that makes it worse are whats to come and what has already happened. Its worse because we know what happened in Saigon. So we should be prepared for it. The second thing is whats to come. Death squads will roam the streets. They will take people out of their homes and put a bullet in each of their skulls. Thousands will die this way.
True. But as the transcript and video show, he was most definitely quoting it approvingly.

Yes, indeed. And Engel is reporting from Kabul. He didn’t bug out. So the guy has more than a little bit of courage.
Richard Engel was a raving lunatic the night Trump won the election. Talked about having the military do what needs to be done to stop Trump.
