Three of the five prominent Sunday morning newscasts avoided the explosive New York Times report about the botched U.S. drone strike the Pentagon finally admitted killed Afghan civilians rather than ISIS-K terrorists the Biden administration previously touted.
During a Friday press conference, the Pentagon confirmed that the Aug. 28 drone strike was a “tragic mistake” that killed ten civilians, including seven children, which was meant to be in response to the Aug. 26 terrorist attack outside the Kabul airport that left 13 U.S. servicemen dead.
This came one week after the Times published a stunning visual investigation that came to the same conclusion. The Biden administration had announced that “two high profile” ISIS-K fighters who were dubbed as “planners and facilitators” of the suicide bombing were killed in the strike.
