«Breaking News» GOP chair slammed for criticizing MSNBC 'bias' on Syria on same day driver was killed in bomb attack

A senior Republican Party official is being blasted on social media after criticizing NBC News for its lack of Syria coverage on the same day an employee of the network was killed in a roadside bomb.


Ronna McDaniel, the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, tweeted earlier in the day that MSNBC, NBC’s 24-hour cable news channel, was guilty of ‘media bias.’


‘On Friday, when the Mueller report was completed, ISIS’s last stronghold in Syria was also eliminated,’ McDaniel tweeted.


‘Since then, MSNBC has not covered ISIS’s defeat for a single minute, refusing to acknowledge this huge win for [President Trump] and the world.’


Just a few hours after McDaniel’s tweet, it was announced that a local driver working with the NBC News crew on the ground in Syria was killed by a device which exploded in the vicinity of the journalists.

The announcement was made by Noah Oppenheim, the president of NBC News.


‘We are thankful that NBC employees escaped unharmed, however one of the local drivers working with them was tragically killed,’ Oppenheim said in a statement.


‘Our deepest sympathies go out to his family and loved ones.’

Oppenheim said that ‘we are still gathering information from today's events, and are in touch with the driver’s family to support them however we can.’


Twitter users reacted angrily to McDaniel’s tweet, which is still online as of Saturday night despite the tragic death of the driver.

John Weaver, a former advisor to Republican presidential candidates John McCain and John Kasich, tweeted: ‘Hey Knucklehead, the NBC crew was attacked and their driver killed. Perhaps you should go search for your name and lay off the Twitter finger.’


The ‘search for your name’ dig is a reference to McDaniel’s decision to drop her maiden name, Romney.


Before she became chairwoman of the RNC in 2016, McDaniel carried the name ‘Romney’ as she was known professionally as Ronna Romney McDaniel.


McDaniel is the niece of Senator Mitt Romney, the Republican from Utah and former presidential candidate.


It was Trump who reportedly insisted that McDaniel lose the ‘Romney’ from her name, according to The Washington Post.


Mitt Romney has been a frequent critic of Trump since the Republican primaries in 2015. Trump has also fired back at the Utah senator.

After Romney won his election in Utah, he published a Washington Post op-ed on January 1 blasting Trump for ‘not rising to the mantle of the office.’


Trump, in response, blasted Romney for not being a ‘team player.’


McDaniel, backing Trump, criticized her uncle, tweeting: POTUS is attacked and obstructed by the MSM media and Democrats 24/7. For an incoming Republican freshman senator to attack [the president] as their first act feeds into what the Democrats and media want and is disappointing and unproductive.’


Another Twitter user tweeted to McDaniel on Saturday: ‘Exactly what is your point? I read about it. The information is out there.


‘I don't watch any news channels. I'm amazed by how much TV viewing is done by this administration.


‘More work, less TV (also less tweeting) would probably make for a much better country.’

U.S.-allied Syrian force declares victory over Islamic State

U.S.-backed forces declared military victory over the Islamic State group in Syria on Saturday after liberating the last pocket of territory held by the militants, marking the end of a brutal self-styled caliphate the group carved out in large parts of Iraq and Syria in 2014.


The nearly five-year war that has devastated cities and towns across north Syria and Iraq ended in Baghouz, a minor border village where the cornered militants made their last stand, under a grueling siege for weeks.


On Saturday, the Syrian Democratic Forces raised their bright yellow banner from a shell-pocked house where the militants once flew their notorious black flag. 


Below it stretched a field shattered by the battle, pitted by trenches and bomb craters and littered with scorched tents, twisted wreckage of burned out vehicles, unspent explosives and few remaining corpses.


'Baghouz is free and the military victory against Daesh has been achieved,' tweeted Mustafa Bali, a spokesman for the Kurdish-led SDF, referring to IS by its Arabic acronym.


The fall of Baghouz brings to a close a nearly 5-year global campaign against the Islamic State group that raged in two countries, spanned two U.S. presidencies and saw a U.S.-led coalition unleash more than 100,000 strikes.


The campaign has left a trail of destruction in cities in Iraq and Syria, likely killed tens of thousands and drove hundreds of thousands from their homes.

The campaign put an end to the militants' proto-state, which at its height four years ago was the size of Britain and home to some 8 million people. 


But the extremist group still maintains a scattered presence and sleeper cells across Syria and Iraq. 


It's not known whether the group's leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is still alive or where he might be hiding.


ISIS affiliates in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, Afghanistan and other countries continue to pose a threat, and the group's ideology has inspired so-called lone-wolf attacks that had little if any connection to its leadership.


The 'caliphate's' end also marks a new phase in Syria's civil war, now in its ninth year. 


The country is carved up, with the Iranian- and Russian-backed government of President Bashar Assad controlling the west, center and south, the U.S.-backed Kurdish-led forces holding the north and east, and Turkish allies controlling a pocket in the north. 


The fear now is of new conflict among those players.


At a ceremony held later Saturday at the nearby al-Omar oil field base, a senior U.S. diplomat, William Roebuck, said the territorial defeat of the Islamic State group is a 'critical milestone' that delivers a crushing and strategic blow to the extremist group. 


But he stressed it remains a significant threat.


'We still have much work to do to achieve an enduring defeat of IS,' he said.

The commander in chief of the SDF, Gen. Mazloum Abdi, appealed for continued assistance to his group until the full eradication of the extremist group. 


He spoke at the ceremony during which fighters marched to a military band.


The victory declaration sets the stage for President Donald Trump to begin withdrawing most of the 2,000 U.S. troops stationed in northern Syria, as he abruptly announced in December that he would do. 


Trump, however, later agreed to leave a small peacekeeping force of 200 soldiers in Syria to ensure Turkey will not get into a conflict with the SDF.


Turkey views Kurdish members of the SDF as terrorists.


The Kurds fear being abandoned by the Americans. 


They are squeezed between a belligerent Turkey from the north, which regards them as a national threat and Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces from the south.


Saturday's announcement came a day after Trump declared that Islamic State militants no longer control any territory in Syria, a victory he had been teasing for days.


Associated Press journalists in Baghouz on Saturday, however, reported hearing mortars and gunfire directed toward a cliff overlooking the village, where U.S.-led coalition airstrikes were carried out a day earlier. 


SDF spokesman Kino Gabriel said Friday there were ISIS fighters hiding in caves near Baghouz and that clearing operations were still underway.


The site of ISIS's last stand was centered on a tent encampment in Baghouz where, unknown to the besieging SDF forces, thousands of civilians were holed up.


During the weeks-long siege, an estimate 30,000 men, women and children were evacuated from the pocket, most of them ISIS family members, a mix of Syrians, Iraqis and foreigners. 


They were exhausted, hungry, many of them wounded and traumatized by the loss of relatives, but some remained die-hard supporters of the 'caliphate.'


On Saturday, journalists were taken to the encampment - a wasteland of wrecked vehicles, torn tents and scorched trees. A few bodies could be seen and a faint smell of rotting corpses hung in the air.


Scattered across the dirt amid empty foxholes and trenches were personal belongings, blankets, generators, oil barrels, water tanks and satellite dishes.


Cars and motorcycles were turned to rusted, twisted heaps of metal. There were unused rockets, mortars and grenades, as well as a pile of suicide vests.


Ciya Kobani, an SDF commander, announced the end of the operation from the roof of the building with the SDF flag: 'We have been victorious against Daesh,' he declared.


At its height, the Islamic State group ruled a third of both Syria and Iraq, holding millions hostage to its harsh and violent interpretation of Islamic law.

The group carried out massacres and documented them with slickly produced videos circulated online. It beheaded foreign journalists and aid workers and burned alive a captured Jordanian pilot. 


During a rampage through Iraq's Sinjar region in 2014, it captured thousands of women and girls from the Yazidi religious minority and forced them into sexual slavery. 


Many remain missing to this day.


The group also used its caliphate as a launchpad for attacks around the globe, including the assaults in Paris in 2015 that killed more than 130 people.


French President Emmanuel Macron tweeted that 'a major danger to our country is now eliminated, yet the threat remains and the fight against terrorist groups must continue.' 


France has been a member of the coalition fighting ISIS since 2014.


While it imposed its unforgiving interpretation of Islamic law through public beheadings and crucifixions, the group also carried out the mundane duties of governance in its territories, including regulating prices at markets and repairing infrastructure.


Cornered in Baghouz, the group fought fiercely and desperately to hang on to the last shred of territory it controlled, using thousands of civilians, including women and children, as human shields. 


In the final weeks, they streamed out of Baghouz, bedraggled, angry and hungry, overwhelming Kurdish-run camps in northern Syria where they are being held.


Aid organizations say more than 100 people have died in the journey from Baghouz to the al-Hol camp in Hassakeh province, or soon after arriving.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
