a US soldier, Mast, kidnapped an Afghan girl from her only living family—the DOJ and State Dept both agree she should be returned, but here is @CBS_Herridge and her colleagues giving a puff piece for her kidnappers.
Read the actual details: nytimes.com
strangely @CBS_Herridge seems to have left out that the Masts lied on their documents in order to get her to the US and then ripped her out of her family’s arms
importantly @CBS_Herridge conveniently left out that the Masts are fundamentalist Christians who frame their actions as saving a baby from the clutches of evil Muslims.
Note how the video makes a point to include mention of the Taliban who the Afghan family have 0 connection to
read the actual details of the case from @rozina_ali
now compare it to the way @CBS_Herridge frames the story here, note who is worthy of sympathy while the Afghan voice is silenced
