Progressive journalist and MSNBC analyst Jonathan Alter has written about what a tremendous success the Afghanistan withdrawal was:
Time to re-write the obsolete narrative of the evacuation of Kabul. 123,000 is a helluva lot of people. https://t.co/Kp2YMxOObs

White House chief of staff Ronald Klain sure appreciated the boost for his boss:
Obviously, I agree. But even if you don't, I hope you will at least pause to consider @jonathanalter's case here.https://t.co/hOcuripyCc

If you want a Klain mention or retweet, just amplify the preferred narrative and you’re in! And Klain’s tweet about Alter was so good that even that earned a Klain retweet of his own original tweet:

LOL.
This is like praising BP for their awesome job cleaning up the Deepwater Horizon spill.

I gotta say, President Klain has been a major disappointment

But Alter doesn’t want anybody to believe that Klain promoting his piece means that he’s just helping spread Biden White House propaganda:

Message to trolls: @WHCOS agreeing with a piece doesn't make it wrong. A group effort led to the evacuation of an astonishing 123,000 people in 17 days. That's a big number. https://t.co/Cnwdf0u1LO

We’re totally sure Klain’s retweet is just because the article is factual and in no way because the talking points fall in line with what the White House wants.
