A Fox News interview on Friday went off the rails after a guest blamed the Washington Post for putting murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi “in harm’s way” by publishing his
columns.
During a segment discussing President Donald Trump’s reaction to the Saudi government murdering Khashoggi in its own consulate, former State Department official Christian Whiton
said that the Post deserved some blame for his assassination because they published columns in which he was critical of the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.
“What got him killed, frankly… he was on the take from the Saudi government, he was eating at the trough, he was receiving Saudi money… then he turned,” Whiton said. “So he went
from being a supporter to being an opponent. And the Washington Post, which frankly has some culpability here, put out his stuff. I mean, he put out articles about how great the
Muslim Brotherhood was.”
Whiton went on to slam the Post for publishing Khashoggi’s columns “not just in English, but in Arabic, which really put him in harm’s way.” The former State Department official also
said that the CIA did America a “disservice” by concluding that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman had personally ordered his agents to take out Khashoggi.
soooooo fox news is saying journalists should be mouthpieces for the ruling government? how fitting.
How in the absolute fuck is Washington Post even related to any of this. Like i get they use it as their regular scapegoat, but this is fucking Pathetic.
If Trump declared martial law, and then welcomed Putin over as the new czar of the Russian/American federation, the Fox News cast would all immediately begin waving russian flags and singing Госуда́рственный гимн Росси́йской Федера́ции.
(Except for Shepard Smith. He'd be fleeing for his life at that point along with the staff of CNN and MSNBC.)
Why the fuck are you blaming the Saudis? The magazine caused the journalist's death by sending him to Turkey, which is a big no-no ESPECIALLY when they more than likely knew the fucking risks.
Never forget that a day after the Pittsburgh shooting a Fox News guest was pushing the same conspiracy that triggered the shooter. Fox News deserves to be annihilated by the FCC.
uh he didn't go to turkey for that reason.
