Washington Post publisher Fred Ryan urged the Biden administration Monday to help safely evacuate American journalists and their families from Afghanistan. The Post’s publisher directly emailed U.S. National Security advisor Jake Sullivan as the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan, asking him to make sure reporters from The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post can safely exit. Some videos have even shown people desperately clinging to the outside of airplanes as they take off. "The president did not think it was inevitable that the Taliban were going to take control of Afghanistan," Sullivan told ABC News’ "Good Morning America." "When push came to shove, they decided not to step up and fight for their country."
