  1. Western media does have a bias against the Taliban. For a more balanced view see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKJCvVr_FRs The western media narrative is 1) Taliban is against women. 2) they can't control ISIS-K and the country is not secure. and 3) The economy of Afghanistan was 90% based on the war against the taliban, the only part that wouldn't collapse after the US left was the opium trade. But the western narrative is the comming economic collapse is the Taliban's fault because they can't erase 20years of military occupation in a few months. And the purpose of withholding 10B of their funds is not revenge for a humiliating withdrawl but to help the women of Afghanistan. Many elements of the narrative is in fact correct. But the story is if you throw off US military occupation, this is what happens.
