If they want favorable media coverage, the Taliban should just move to Europe or the U.S. There the establishment media would fawn all over them and always give their point of view without room for dissent or rebuttal.
“Taliban threaten Afghan media, say reporters to be targeted,” Associated Press, June 24, 2019:
The Taliban have issued a threat to Afghan media, saying journalists will be targeted unless news outlets stop broadcasting what they describe as government propaganda against the insurgents.
Monday’s statement gives Afghan radio stations, TV channels and others a week to cease transmitting anti-Taliban announcements paid for by the government.
The Taliban say that Afghan media that refuse to do this will be considered enemy intelligence nests and their journalists and other staffers will not be safe.
The government in Kabul pays media outlets to regularly air pleas to the public to inform authorities if they see any suspicious Taliban activities….

Ah, the brave Taliban fighters – faces covered out of fear of being identified.

The Taliban are doing what globalists in the West are doing in a financial way and through propaganda: they are trying to eliminate the freedom of expression, so that only one-sided messages are broadcast everywhere. This is totalitarian and fascist. Western billionaires who try to control all thought in Western countries in order to create compliance to their schemes and manipulations are in league with the organizations like the Taliban to achieve world dominance. This is a new form of fascism that should be termed ‘GLOBALIST FASCISM’.
Muslims have a deep respect for fascism, but Islam does not encourage them to analyze what they are thinking and doing, for analysis of Islam and comparison with other ideologies often leads to the total abandonment of Islam, so most Muslims avoid critical, independent thought.

Afghanistan: Taliban say they’ll target radio and TV stations that broadcast anti-Taliban announce
…………………..
Remember, these thugs are supposed to be “partners for peace”.
Walter Sieruk says
How odd that some Westerners feel that some kind of “genuine lasting peace” may come out of having ‘talks ” with those violent lawless ruffians who make up the Taliban. How unrealistic and naive can some Westerners be ?
In any US and Afghanistan -“negotiations” with the Taliban , the characters who head Taliban will engage ,not in honest discussion but employ Taqyya ,which is the Muslim doctrine of lying deceptions for their Islamic goals and thus they will only speak the truth when speaking the truth fits with their Islamic/ Taliban /agenda.
Likewise the Taliban will keep their promise that they have made only as long as it suites them and no longer.
So before engaging of the foolishness of attempting to have genuine “talks for a peace alliance” with Taliban, the officials of the current government would do well to heed the wisdom of Sun Tzu found in THE ART OF WAR. For it instructs “We cannot enter into an alliance neighboring’s princes, until we are acquainted with their designs.”
To put this in a more updated and current way, it may be said that “We cannot enter into a peace alliance with the Taliban until we know the actual intentions and real schemes.”
