Why the media love Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal

The President’s policy is identical to Donald Trump’s — but that’s not how CNN sees it

This week Joe Biden announced that the United States would begin withdrawing it’s military from Afghanistan in May, with the aim of leaving the country entirely by September 11th.

Biden is not the first President to announce this move. President Trump did so in 2019, and again in 2020.

Given that Biden is enacting exactly the same policy Trump wanted to pursue, you might expect the media coverage of these announcements to be similar.
