Katie Steinle Wants To Know: Why Does The Media Care So Much About Jamal Khashoggi?


Do you remember Katie Steinle?  So why is the media so concerned with Khashoggi?  

The media routinely ignores stories (or downplays them) like Katie Steinle and Benghazi because it does not fit a narrative the media supports. It is bias and sometimes just outright lying.  

I am not a fan of Saudis killing other Saudis, but this Khashoggi matter allegedly happened in Turkey. The United States was not involved. The Saudis situation is complicated (remember 9/11) but the current government is hostile to those internal terrorist Wahhabi forces. Jamal Khashoggi was friends with Osama bin Laden and aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood.  

Seriously, we are going to break diplomatic ties with the Saudis (who are our allies in containing Iran) over this? And we are supposed to trust the Erdogan's Turkish government is telling us the truth (you'd think the media would be concerned with Erdogan's human rights abuses). Everyone in the middle east is using everyone else. I hate to be realpolitik over this, but seriously can anyone see through this hypocrisy?
