Talk about biased reporting!
I mean really, the survey shows the Afghans rank the Taliban the biggest threat but the author of the article makes it sound like the US is the biggest threat. How does the 8% (8 out of a 100) become 1 out of a 10 (10%) and how is that a threat when the Afghans surveyed state that 58% (58 out of 100) are concerned about the Taliban? Based on the survey, the Afghans are over 7 times more concerned with the Taliban threat then the US threat. No wonder thinking people are concerned about media bias. Report the facts and quit trying to make news that isn't there. Leave the sensationalization to the tabloids.
Media will disappear if you don't stop shaping the news.
8% is less than 1 in 12
9 out of 10 Afghans don't rank the US as the biggest threat
The headline says more about you and your intention than about the US or Afghanistan.
