I guess they can have their cake and eat it too get to kill him and escape culpability
Oh, ok. Woops. My bad.
It was a mistake had they known it was being recorded they never would have done it I am sure the next time they will try to be more careful and not get caught
The media loves to give themselves and their employees more importance then the rest of the world. Although this man was a resident of the U.S. he was NOT a citizen and it’s a lot of nerve to expect the US to jeopardize its economy and relationship with an key ally in the Middle East over this SAUDI citizen’s unjust murder by his own country’s hands. It’s time to stop playing naive. The fact is people are murdered and imprisoned by authoritarian regimes all over the world. The only reason this story has been elevated and pushed by the Media is because this man was a journalist. A Journalist’s life isn’t more valuable then anybody else’s!
Hey. You’re speaking logic and that’s not allowed in todays pc world.
