→ISIS-K
The solution to both problems was found in the wholesale concoction of a brand new terror threat that was branded “The Khorasan Group.” After spending weeks depicting ISIS as an unprecedented threat — too radical even for Al Qaeda! — administration officials suddenly began spoon-feeding their favorite media organizations and [[national security]] [[journalist]]s tales of a secret group that was even scarier and more threatening than ISIS, one that posed a direct and immediate threat to the American Homeland. Seemingly out of nowhere, a new terror group was created in media lore."}}

On August 28, 2021, two days after the Kabul airport bombing, [[CNN]] aired an interview with an alleged ISIS-K commander, leaving observers to wonder how CNN gained access to the terrorist leader – and protected his identity – two weeks before his group allegedly killed 170 people.
CNN reporter Clarissa Ward conducted the interview with the alleged commander who said that the group was “laying low and waiting for its moment to strike.” Ward called the commander’s words “eerily prophetic,” but [[social media]] users argued that CNN had advance notice and apparently did nothing to warn others or lead US authorities to the terrorist commander.
CNN host and CIA intern [[Anderson Cooper]] aired the interview, tweeting a promotional trailer. According to [[RT]], one user tweeted back, ''"“CIA tweets CIA interview with CIA.”''<ref>https://www.rt.com/usa/533353-cnn-airs-isis-k-interview/</ref>
