bearing on reality. all of it, frankly, was a distraction from the real story in my mind, which is what the afghan people were going through, and what they were experiencing and what america s role is and what america s responsibly was in that. so it is frustrating as a journalist when you see both sides politically trying to weaponize these issues that ultimately subvert attention from the real focus. but isn t it notjust about politics about both sides and decisions taken by editors that think it s easier to make content that s popular if it s seen through domestic politics, rather through experiences of afghans? i think it depends where you work. obviously, if you work at one of the big three networks in the us and you have a half hour evening news show, you re a lot more limited in how much
