6:42 The murder of Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October prompted much debate about the writer’s past affiliations and ideological inclinations. Responding to President Donald Trump’s Tuesday statement on the killing, Katy Tur of MSNBC falsely claimed Khashoggi was never a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, but he indisputably was a member and a lifelong proponent of its Islamist ideals. Acknowledging this truth does not in any way condone his death at the hands of Saudi agents.
Tur’s point was that everyone who mentions Khashoggi’s Brotherhood past, including President Trump, is attempting to justify his murder

The media are liars. No one should trust them.
No kidding, they also won't mention he was more of a intelligence guy than a journalist, and that he was a friend of Bin Ladan. We get virtually nothing believable from our media, they are propagandists just like this guy was.
Imagine that. Katy Tur, who Kamala-ed her way up the Media ladder [by way of Keith Olbersturmfuhrermann's "little feller"] lies like the lying Media whore that she is...
Why is the media and the RINO’s are so obsessed with murder of one Saudi by another Saudi.......when they practically ignored brutal beheading on video of a young AMERICAN journalist in Pakistan by the same terrorist who planned and executed 911?
What is wrong with these masochist people?
Joseph Duggan blows a hole in the Washingsnot Pest's Khashoggi Narrative.
While watching cnn and msnbc just briefly it becomes clear they want us to nuke Saudia Arabia for this.
In simpler terms, they are against anything President Trump says or does. Weird, right?
Maybe our media should move to Saudia Arabia and demand access to the Kingdom's Press Meetings so they can shout down the King.
The question: Is this Muslim Brotherhood member worth jeopardizing a Saudi government that is moving toward reconciliation with Israel and is not blackmailing us with exorbitant oil prices?
The only thing about this man’s identity that matters to me is that he: A) wasn’t a U.S. citizen, B) was on Turkish soil (and Erdogan is worse than the Saudis), C) was in an embassy that was not ours. He shouldn’t have been murdered the way he was (nobody should be) but all of our enemies (guilty of far worse) are clamoring for us to condemn the Saudis, and the Saudis have been an important ally.
If Khashoggi was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood it wouldn’t surprise me, but it changes nothing. He shouldn’t have been killed the way he was. At the same time, the rules we are all used to living by are absent in much of the world. Journalists are murdered horribly all the time in Latin America, and judges, mayors, etc. Russia, China, and the entirety of the Middle East are not good places for truth tellers to do their thing.
We should be part of the effort to convince mankind that they are good and not evil. That is the only way we move forward. It would be nice if the media would recognize that the world is rough and step off the POTUS. He has been clumsy in explaining himself, or has made to appear so, but nobody who cares about human rights can argue with a straight face that we should side with Iran and Turkey against Saudi Arabia. I’m sure Russia and China wish we would, but the world is worse off if they win.
First Kashoggi then what?

The Khashoggi virtue signalers are being very selective. The Chinese get away with murder because they are communists. The Chinese have killed many dissidents who were much more supportive of American ideals than Khashoggi, yet none of them are demanding a hard line against China.
This thing seriously has somebody’s knickers in a wad. I just can’t figure who.
Abdulkarim al-Khaiwani? Javier Valdez Cárdenas? Not that nearly the number of people who have heard of Kashoggi have ever heard of these brave men.
If the Crown Prince had killed Osama bin Ladin BEFORE 911 the same people would be condemning the killer.
If I was Saudi Arabia I’d say “You killed your bin Laden . We killed our bin Laden.”
We need to send Acosta to Saudi Arabia and investigate all this thoroughly!
They say that with great power comes great responsibility, but that seems to have run into a ditch. The coverage of the POTUS from the first day of his presidency has been one of the most disheartening and frightening things I have ever seen.
Some Republican members of Congress apparently want to start World War 3. They shouldn’t be demanding sanctions against Saudi for taking out a radical terrorist propagandist who was trying to unite all Muslim nations against the West with his “political” Islam. Those members Republican congressmen support other nations that not only carry out assassinations against their internal political opponents but also commit many other serious human rights abuses.
>>What is wrong with these masochist people?<<
What’s wrong with them is that all of these self-righteous fools have been thoroughly and permanently indoctrinated to believe that America is and always has been an evil empire, and therefore it needs to be destroyed and incorporated into a globalist, Communist-governed Utopia.
