That'd be amazing. The unfortunate reality is due to the chaos of ensuing & overlapping wars, rise of ISIS, Iranian invasion of Iraq and now covertly in Afghanistan under the guise of "civil war with Taliban" (covered by recent Frontline video); it's very likely they've lost the ability to contact or locate most of these people years ago or they died. Also, the Frontline journalist who did all of the war reporting seems to have retired. I no longer see him in any Frontline documentaries over the past 3-4 yrs. So much depends on the journalist, their contacts, candor, how they interview and stay in contact with sources, etc when it comes to getting people to talk and getting answers you can work with. I've seen Frontline in recent years turn to interviewing biased and unethical sources, like those surrounding the Trump campaign/admin and the minority corporate news outlet reporters hand-picked by Trump to receive White House press credentials, without any central journalist narrating or confronting these people when they try to lie to get more out of them than just released propaganda and fluff. In most PBS Frontline political specials since 2016, there's little narrative or context given outside of the sound bites taken from the interviewees; which allows them to effectively control the narrative, or at least muddy the waters; making Frontline come off soft against corrupt tyrannts in recent years. These recent uploads from 10-20 yrs ago make me miss OG Frontline so much 😢 I'm afraid the Trump admin, and the outrage reporting racket corp news got rich off of, is having a lasting negative impact on investigative journalism. In the short-term, Trump's hijinks like withholding millions in congressional funds annually from non-profits that support internet privacy & human rights advocacy, encrypted communication app dev for journalists & dissidents, and publicly funded news orgs like PBS, ProPublica, VOA, etc, financially damaged orgs that couldn't get enough emergency donations in time (leading to massive layoffs or worse). Then there was Trump's blatant sabotage of VOA by appointing a loyalist with no experience to take over, fire all staff that refused to publish White House propaganda, and cancelled foreign correspondent's Visas leaving them trapped abroad in extremely dangerous situations. Plus factors like a new economic recession, which aids mega-corps like Fox News/the Murdochs in aggressively buying-up all local newsrooms struggling to keep the lights on (e.g. The Capital Gazette in DC, which was the target of a mass shooting around the same time), consolidating & censoring; and corporate news focusing on publishing headlines that get clicks in order to maximize ad profits. This is why black out media coverage of Trump's antics dominated the news from late-2015 to early-2021; causing critical stories to get buried. It's a tactic that Trump, perhaps more-so than any American politician before him, was able exploit this capitalist black hole by putting out inflammatory Tweets & statements right when his people knew a massive story was about to come out. Another issue is outlets with decades-long reputations of trustworthiness (whether or not rightly earned), like the NYT & Washington Post, now clickbaiting readers. Following the trend initially set by online-only outlets like BuzzFeed & Huffington Post (who coincidentally now publish a lot of the investigative journalist pieces turned down by the "reputable" news outlets), they're engineering their headlines (even changing them minutes after publishing if they're not getting enough views) to whatever it takes to go viral on social media; causing a crisis of disinfo due to the bad habit of people sharing articles before actually reading them. Countless examples of NYT doing this on their COVID coverage by using a thumbnail & headline they knew would trigger massive outrage, while discussing an entirely different subject in the article contents itself (i.e. blaming one minority group for vaccine shortages in headline & photo, but citing completed unrelated causation in the article itself - helping to incite numerous hate crimes the NYT then "failed" to report).

Would you volunteer to start looking for em?

That would be great.

@@Living_Dead_Girrl Well informed..thanks!

That's self explanatory lol

kkkk....and America think they can tame those lunatics

Exactly. Let them clean out themselves.

It's really a very sad truth of some muslim tribes.

the music like in film manipulates, they do have a bias, think twice before blindly trusting these people, they have been exposed for what they are in the last few years

@@churblefurbles Lmao PBS is one of the most transparent and respectable news orgs out there.

@@churblefurbles PBS is as neutral as they come. Furthermore there is difference between biased news which is heavily opinionated and the narration of a story . Most topics are much more complex than what can be reasonably covered in a single hour long documentary. Its up to the viewers to find out further if the topic interests them. Most importantly, one shouldnt form opinions based on a single documentary.

@@churblefurbles exposed for being exactly what?

@@ajack1889 yeah we have witness how transparent and non partisan PBS eas under Trump... Lol no bias my arse

An idea is never an original thought, I also revisit documentaries by Martin Smith and crew, when I want to watch balanced journalism covering all angles, to the best of their honest abilities

Might sound cheesy but I think it's because PBS is free. They don't charge you to watch it. They don't sell ads. They ask for donations but there isn't a giant corporate agenda. They are just reporting both (or all) sides. Letting the people on both sides say what they have to say. Martin from what I remember has been shot at, had a grenade thrown at his hotel, and yet he still goes to the Middle East to report for most if not all of this war, and before it. I found myself rewatching all these recently. Remember watching them on an actual box TV via cable. Channel number 2 I believe. Now I'm watching this on my phone via the wireless internet. I'm in the future. lol. Got off topic there for a second.

Fake news network and he does what he is told. You think the things he does is up to him? LOLOLOLOLOL

​@deidradahl2802 what does that mean? An idea is never an original thought? I think I disagree.

Yeah.... not really. I used to think that myself. Then I noticed certain skewed views. You'll see it, if you're looking for it.

Yea during the last few years that became obviously not true, literally orange man bad derangement. Voice of god narration and ominous music manipulates, false authority, don't look at the man behind the curtain. Like other public broadcast they misinform through proxy, usually when a talking head speaks some untruth they favor they do not fact check it and let it stand.

@Unknown User Furthermore on "policing the police" they let some woman make the statement that she knew the incident rates for black arrests were disproportionate because she saw lots of white people on the show cops. The producer of cops openly admitted they rigged it for "equality" reasons.

I know ...where is he..he's old now I think..

were the tribal areas more hostile? id be scared shitless

To ask the Saudi prince such tough questions takes immense courage too. Especially knowing what Saudi prince's do to American journalists who annoy them (they have them killed and then, cut to pieces).

Killer idea

I hope one day, when people want to learn about others, they'll not think of a biopic but, instead, a biography. Or any other book, like an almanac or an encyclopaedia. Or an online source, like, the PBS Frontline website, or, the many talks Smith has given. Or the PBS video archive, in which he's discussed his past at some length. A biopic is not necessary, to learn about someone. Often biopics are distorted and do injury to the person's reputation - if they even want such a film to be made.

@@jimreily7538 what pbs documentary does he share about himself? The only one I’ve seen which talks in some detail is retirement. Nothing wrong with a biopic. It introduces masses to someone they wouldn’t commonly know. I’d personally would prefer a biographic documentary. But I also love Christian bale 🤪

@Unknown User why, are there more countries he needs to surrender to?

@Unknown User the president who rolled over to the taliban was named Trump: _“I started the process. All the troops are coming back home. They couldn’t stop the process. Twenty-one years is enough, don’t we think? Twenty-one years. They [the Biden administration] couldn’t stop the process. They wanted to, but it was very tough to stop the process.”_

@Unknown User the failure was built in by the previous administration. Even his own former NSA said so. _H.R., McMaster, Trump’s second national security adviser, has recently called it “a surrender agreement with the Taliban.” Another member of Trump’s National Security Council said it was “a very weak agreement.”_

@Unknown User lmaaaoooo got em

@Unknown User they even quoted warmonger military industrial complex ghoul HR McMaster who also called for a new global war on terror. Lmao so hilarious how the anti-trump Dems became so deranged they rehabilitated all the Bush neocon war criminals and now are siding with their hawkish views on more war in the Middle East. If it were up to them we would be in Afghanistan for another 20 years. Doesn’t matter to them because these people are never affected. They don’t have any friends or family that are military and stepped on an IED. It’s all a game to them in their Tesla Model X sipping their soy latte.

Half the voters are dumb.

Umm. So did we. Trump negotiated with the taliban without the involvement of the Afghan government

have you seen the videos of masses storming the airport? the Afghan people were stabbed in the back by trump and biden. how do you fight without food, amonition, air support and based on machines who rely on deserting american contractirs and soldiers? rely on proprietary software that is now blocked? how does an army organize, if the puppet leaders (a western empire has installed to enrich itself) flees the country? it was never about giving the afghans a choice

2002

It says 2002 in description above.

I agree. It seems as though we take it upon ourselves to interfere in foreign affairs without on-the-ground intelligence and understanding of a thousand plus year history that is more layered than any we are familiar with. Great Britain did the same in the 20's, trying to make a square fit into a circle. Katherine Bell tried, but we westerners just don't comprehend the backstory. Unfortunately, it's all about economics and power...areas in which we as westerners feel obligated to be involved, regardless of our understanding, because it's in "our best interest", regardless of what those involved think

Is this Karl? I listened to Drew and Mike

I’ve noticed that too. They are re-releasing all their Middle East stuff to get those clicks.

Because people forget, need to be reminded how it all began. No mention of Russia, who began this war before the Americans got there.

Don't compare a teenager searching attention in Tik Tok with a global phenomenon, it's not the same.

That's been on my mind a lot lately. Do you think we'll target Pakistan next?

I wonder why the hell we don't confront Pakistan more aggressively. They've consistently smiled in our faces and supported, harbored and armed terrorists for years, sabotaging our progress. What the hell is going on?
