Why do we care about Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi?

Are we to assume the Turks are telling the truth? That they have no agenda?

Shouldn’t we be more concerned with the murder of an American citizen like, um, Seth Rich?

Why exactly does our congress care about sleazy happenings from two sleazy countries?

Why are we more concerned with some journalist than the 3,000 people the Saudi's killed on 9/11?

Silly man! Mr. Khashoggi worked for the Washington Post as their correspondent.

Not all reporters are created equal.

I care about our taxpayer dollars funding the Sunni radicals in Saudi Arabia who support ISIS, Al Qaeda and other extremists who want us dead.

WE don’t.

But WE are supposed to feign outrage because Trump is mean to our media and it could happen to one of our favorite reporters ,like Acosta,with all of his heated rhetoric

The Saudis are animals. We sometimes have to do business with animals.

I don’t care.

"We" are not, the MSM is. Anytime a "journalist" is killed they make a big deal of it. Protecting their own is all it is.

The Turks agenda is far better than the KSA's.

The Turks are saying the Saudis murdered this dude and filmed it. They say the video of his dismemberment, which is probably how they snuck him out- pieces at a time, has been intercepted....This could get interesting.

I'd rather live in a quasi-secular dictatorship than an absolute monarchy whose law is a warped, violent and fundamentalist strain of Islam.

And yet when Tony Soprano does the same shite we make it the highest rated series ever, it does sound like don clintonnoi May have had a say.

I’d be morbidly curious to see that.

Not like Muslims keep a bunch of pigs around to dispose of the evidence.

I can care about multiple things simultaneously. This is just one of them.

Yes, I care about this.
