For the past few days the
American mainstream media has been breathlessly giving updates on the alleged disappearance
and killing of a writer named Jamal
Khashoggi that occurred in the Saudi Arabian embassy in Turkey.
Khashoggi is a name I would suggest 99.9% of the American people has never heard of before. He had no connection to the United States other than some of his articles appeared in the Washington Post.

Just being a "journalist"
is enough of a hook for the media to somehow justify intense scrutiny. But why?
It isn't like other journalist aren't routinely killed all over the
world in other countries.
So why is Jamal Khashoggi deserving of all this
attention and concern?
It's all about the media's
hatred and desperation to remove President Donald Trump from office. Nothing more, nothing less.
The media doesn't care about Jamal
Khashoggi. He's just another means to an
end. Whatever happened to him is just
another narrative to make Trump guilty of a crime he had nothing to do with. Maybe Trump ordered the killing of Khashoggi
because he's a journalist? Trump calls
them fake news. Yeah, that's it. It's all Trump's fault. He needs to be impeached.
Never mind that Khashoggi was
a member of the Muslim Brotherhood and their beliefs was in conflict with some
members of the Saudi royal family.
That's a detail that NONE of the mainstream media is reporting because it
doesn’t fit their neat template that Trump is to blame.
When Ambassador Christopher Stevens, OUR OWN ambassador was killed in Benghazi, Libya
in 2012 during the presidency of Barack Obama, the mainstream media wasn't
eager to get to the bottom of that. They
weren't eager to report about all the requests Stevens made to Hillary Clinton
for upgraded security because the situation in Libya had become dire. Four Americans got killed and the mainstream
media barely reported it.
Protecting the Obama
presidency was just as important then than bringing down the Trump presidency
now.
