Guy was pushing the wrong people.





I still dont see why this guy was worth going to war over.

Did he die by some nefarious shite? Sure. But why is the business of our military and intelligence if a WaPo journalist brown noses too far into the Saudi regime?

Don’t see how it’s our problem at all.

He wasn’t important, he was a contributor to a liberal publication...so therefore he is a martyr.

Media didn't like it because someone chopped up one of their own.

Pretty much because as a journalist they put him up on a pedestal, just as they do with themselves. Well above me and you in value. And if you don't go along with that....then you are many terrible things.

He was a Muslim Brotherhood sympathizer IIRC and the media and Dems are in bed with them.

There’s never been a better example of the fraud the media engages in regularly than this farce of a story. Saudi Arabia had a hand in 9/11 and the media never said shite but we are supposed to be outraged because they killed some WaPo dude?

Saudis kill some pos journalists and they should be punished.

Iranians kill Americans, we should embrace them.

He was a leftist media activist, so naturally all the other leftist media activists are going to build him up into something.

They definitely don't feel the same about Lara Logan

He wasn't

He was a hardcore, old school Muslim. He wanted women back in the homes, back under clothing, etc.

Bezos doesn't give a shite about that guy, he's just patronizing the family with his fake caares.

If BHO had been POTUS..."Khashoggi had questionable ties".

Kashoggi looked like he could have been Obama’s son.

He was not important.....even to the WaPo until he could be useful to it .

He asked for it in a Middle Eastern....byzantine sort of way
You know he was asking for it, it is hard to explain why.

Although they like to refer to him as such, he wasn't even a journalist for WaPo....he was a columnist. And I do believe there's a difference.

Jamal Khashoggi was a deep state intelligence asset. Journalism was his cover, a la project mockingbird. His handlers are pissed.

It’s crazy how the media types have reacted to this. There are even some golf journalists losing their minds about PGA Tour players playing in a tournament there.


When I asked them why they don’t complain about tournaments in other Mideast states that use actual slave labor, and have worse human rights violations than the Kingdom, they talked in circles about why it’s different. Then they blocked me from their twitter accounts.


Total bitches.
