State Dept. Releases Afghanistan Report During Long Holiday Weekend

“People who are proud of their work don’t put it out on Friday before a four-day weekend,” remarked Family Research Council Senior Fellow and former Trump administration official Meg Kilgannon. “In one sense, it’s expected that presidential administrations will try to manage the public’s perception of their work,” she told The Washington Stand. “But when a report like this one is released on a Friday, about such a grave matter of much interest to the public, the ‘Friday news dump’ is shown to be more than just a messaging tactic.”
