On this edition of Your Call’s Media Roundtable, we're discussing the fall of the US backed Afghan government and the rise of Taliban to power.
The United Nations estimates that more than 100,000 Afghan civilians have been killed by the Taliban, insurgents, and international coalition forces. US drone strikes have also killed thousands of innocent Afghans. Nearly 2,500 American soldiers have died in Afghanistan. What's missing from US media coverage?
