“Out of a combined 14,000-plus minutes of the national evening news broadcast on CBS, ABC, and NBC last year…Those five minutes, which covered the February 2020 Doha agreement between the United States and the Taliban, marked a 19-year low for Afghanistan coverage on the three networks’ newscasts. They compared to a high of 940 minutes the networks devoted to Afghanistan in 2001.”
