As the situation in Afghanistan becomes only more grim, the New York Times is properly condemning the Biden Administration’s lack of foresight and criticizing Biden’s false statements regarding the US evacuation. Saturday’s front page featured a “news analysis” from Peter Baker, which suggested Biden’s botching of the Afghanistan pullout might damage his electoral selling points:

The Taliban appear to be mocking the United States in a new propaganda photo.

Joe Biden’s efforts to erase Donald Trump’s record on immigration hit a snag this last week when a federal judge ordered the Trump “Remain in Mexico” policy to be reinstated.

New York Times coronavirus reporter Apoorva Mandavilli offered yet another dubious piece of virus-related advice, suggesting in Thursday’s edition that wearing masks and avoiding company for the foreseeable future is somehow preferable to receiving a “booster shot” of a coronavirus vaccine: “Vaccines’ protection against virus infection is waning, C.D.C. studies suggest.” Mandavilli found sources
Almost 170 million Americans are now fully vaccinated against coronavirus, with about 200 million receiving at least one shot.

I’m going to admit from the start here that until a few days ago, I had no idea who Nathan J. Robinson, nor his publication Current Affairs, were.
