Federalist: The Washington Post has caused itself a major scandal since it has come to light they and their martyred “reformer” Jamal Khashoggi were publishing anti-Saudi propaganda for Qatar. They tried to bury this in a pre-Christmas Saturday news dump, but that can’t stop the damage this will do to their reputation.
“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,” the Post wrote December 21.
The Post says they were unaware of this, although Khashoggi’s Qatar connections were well known. They will have to answer for what is either incompetence in connecting these dots or simply not caring as Khashoggi’s attacks on President Trump and the Saudis fit right in with their narrative. The Qatar Foundation denies they were paying him to produce the anti-Saudi material. more

What? A “journalist “ whose integrity is compromised by his politics? Say it ain’t so!
…It’s STILL a Muslim killed by Muslims in a Muslim land over Muslim crap. We don’t have a dog in this hunt.
Bonus for death of a WaPo propagandist, tho…
Would Time Magazine’s Person of the Year do such a thing? Perish the thought!

Perish and dismember the thought

Uh-duh. A friend of Osama bin Ladin and Hezbollah supporter who wrote part-time Muz propaganda for WaPo and had a temporary U.S. green card is an influence agent.
I don’t think this is new news, but if that means it’s getting out, well, okay, good.
