Beware of the Trump Curse!:
Posted on 12/26/2018 6:33:24 AM PST by saywhatagain
After the revelations from The Washington Post which cast doubt on the authenticity and credibility of pieces they published under late Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s name, analysts are questioning what’s next for the newspaper and how they will handle the fall-out from their coverage.

Institutional failure
In its article, Washington Post stressed that the Global Opinions department is independent from the newsroom, which some experts have questioned the veracity. However, they see in this a move to distance itself smoothly from Khashoggi’s work.
They also believe that the outlet would go through a review process that would include the editorial standards.
David Reboi, a consultant in US national security and political warfare, said that he was not surprised by Washington Post revelations.
He thinks that it is a normal outcome of what he called a firehose in Khashoggi’s case.
Der Spiegel scandal: When the right hate is more important than the right facts
The German magazine Der Spiegel last week fired Claas Relotius, one of its star reporters, for fabricating sources and details in at least 14 articles and perhaps as many as 55. There was an unmistakable thread tying together Relotius’ tall tales: seething anti-Americanism.
Der Spiegel, Washington Post . . . Trump curse? . . . . naw, say it ain't so!
My guess is that the media association will scramble to put together a banquet and give WaPo an award for outstanding work.
Wait, did I miss something? Was the Compost outed?
One of the nice things about being a ‘reporter’ at the Post or the Times is that truth need not apply, as long as your piece is politically expedient and approved by management. I suspect that the Times, Post and/or CNN will rush to sign up Claas Relotius, and perhaps give him the byline of ‘santa claas’.
I believe that all of the corporate media is to some extent, controlled or heavily influenced through espionage. Seems every big name media org has its own personal Middle East despotism as sponsor.
al arabiya? srsly?
Everybody Is Wrong About The Ali Watkins Scoops-For-Sex Scandal"
Mollie shares this in her opening:
Legendary New York Times editor Abe Rosenthal once fired a newly hired reporter when he learned she’d had an intimate relationship with one of the people she reported on at her previous newspaper. Michael Goodwin explains what happened next:
Word of the incident spread quickly through the newsroom, and several female reporters complained to Rosenthal. They argued that the woman was treated unfairly, at which point Abe raised his finger for silence and said something to this effect: ‘I don’t care if you f–k an elephant on your personal time, but then you can’t cover the circus for the paper.’
All the congress people that are up in arms, trying to force Trump to sever relations with Saudi Arabia and stop trade deals, where so they stand on this now?
Beware of the Trump Curse!:
Who reads the Compost on the Saturday before Christmas?
They’ve evidently backed away from the veracity of the Muslim Brotherhood agent who was playing, “correspondent” while spreading the propaganda of Qatari and Turkish intelligence. Has anyone read this? Anywhere?
You should have noted that when you posted the article.
They have an interest in discrediting Khashoggi and the Post.
"....“There are far too many important questions still not being asked, let alone answered, at least not on the major networks and newspapers. After the recent Kavanaugh hearing debacle, this is yet another indication that long after President Trump leaves the stage, the damage most mainstream media has done to itself may be irreparable.
While experts praised The Post’s courage to publish the revelations, they think the campaign to destroy the US-Saudi relationship turned out to be built on the fiction..."
------------------
And let us not forget that the CIA apparently bought into the Qatar lies whole-heartedly as well. Our President knew better and warned people that they were being premature in their judgement, but per usual his words were dismissed.
This was a calculated plan to damage the US-Saudi relationship and ALL the DemonRats along with many, many RINOs were ready to dump hundreds of billions in future US defense sales to SA over this dead, corrupt propagandist.
The globalists and leftist socialists are bent on the destruction of you, I and America's future.
Never doubt how much they hate us and to what extremes they will go to acting upon their hate.
Perhaps most problematic for Khashoggi were his connections to an organization funded by Saudi Arabia’s regional nemesis, Qatar. Text messages between Khashoggi and an executive at Qatar Foundation International show that the executive, Maggie Mitchell Salem, at times shaped the columns he submitted to The Washington Post, proposing topics, drafting material and prodding him to take a harder line against the Saudi government. Khashoggi also appears to have relied on a researcher and translator affiliated with the organization, which promotes Arabic-language education in the United States.
Of course one has to read 1,500 words to get to those lines, but there it is from the Post itself.
Here is the Washington Post article where they gloss over his Muslim Brotherhood past and his other, ah, associations,
Khashoggi was not a journalist and PO’d some very unforgiving people. The media was played. This article tries to fill in some gaps but you have to read way down the page to get any sense of the depth of the mud he played in.
I wrote see post 12, should be post 14. Excerpt from the Washington Post
I think we may be losing our perspective; the guy was tortured and murdered.
On the other hand, musings of similar treatment also extent to certain leftist media notables as well.
Not too rare a daydream, that one.
That's what I'm guessing.
Maybe on page 6 of the Weekly World News, under the bat-boy article.
