Yes, serious as a heart attack.
This is a woman who, within 24 hours, decided that it's appropriate to wear a scarf.
It's not like she was in fear because of these "mostly friendly" folks, is it?
This is CNN.

Here exact words were bizarre.
CNN reporter on the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan: “They’re just chanting ‘Death to America,’ but they seem friendly at the same time.”

Not making any excuses for that chant... but sometimes things get lost in translation a bit. There's a common "rally chant" in India that goes something like this:
<Cause, cause> Zindabad!
<the opposite of the cause> <the opposite of the cause> Murdabad!Zindabad means "long live", and Murdabad means "down with", or literally "death to".
But someone can be more emphasizing the Zindabad part (and be happy), or emphasizing the Murdabad part (and be angry). But the chant typically needs a cause and a foil.
Also - "Death to" doesn't necessarily mean "people should die" in this context. It could mean death to an idea... or down with an idea as well.
Anyways - that's as much rationalizing I can muster in favor of terrorists for one day.

Thanks for the explanation.
Nice to know that "death" doesn't really mean "dying," other than extinction of an idea. That make me feel a lot better.

LOL.

Not worried about the terrorists. I was commenting on a female CNN reporter who is saying the Taliban appear friendly in English? Again are you fucking serious that a woman in the US today could get away with that comment on arguably the most brutal regime towards women in existence on the planet.
To further make my point, I suspect she would go nuts on Cuomo for his harassment of women. Compare and contrast Taliban to Cuomo regarding the treatment of women.

I know right? But in all fairness I did just. look at her other tweets and she expresses massive concern about treatment of women in Afghanistan… so I didn’t do my homework and I likely would not have commented at all

Chris Cuomo Network would be CCN.
That's two Cs.
CNN has two Ns.

I sit corrected.

Ok, it would appear our work for the day is done here. Well done, everyone. Turn in and we'll have a go at it all again tomorrow.
