US media expert warns of American source behind Khashoggi rumors

The disappearance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi has sparked controversy and the spread of media rumors across the world, including the doubtful information from Turkish sources and wrongful accusations against the Saudi General Consul’s son in Istanbul.

According to US media expert Patrick Poole, American media has been just as involved in reporting leaks from multiple unreliable sources.

Poole noted that Yahoo News published an article Friday quoting Khaled Saffuri, one of Khashoggi’s associates, that said President Trump's criticism of journalists may have inspired the Crown Prince to have Khashoggi "murdered."

The Daily Beast also quoted Saffuri discussing Khashoggi’s efforts to gain freedom of expression, a plan Saffuri said the journalist knew “was going to put him in danger.”

Saffuri was the deputy and chief lobbyist of Abdulrahman Alamoudi in the American Muslim Council, who is currently serving a 17-year sentence for ties to the Libyan and al-Qaeda plot.

Saffuri’s ties to terror financing, which were reported on after the 9/11 attacks, have not been mentioned in any of the articles where he spoke about Khashoggi.

Some media’s incessant reporting of Saudi Arabia’s presumed involvement in Khashoggi’s disappearance, based on speculations and questionable information gathered from sources with ties to terror groups, will undoubtedly hinder the investigation rather than resolve the mystery of the Saudi journalist’s disappearance.

Saudi officials have adamantly stated that the kingdom is not involved in Khashoggi’s disappearance and that there is no evidence to support reports of his death.

Saudi officials have also repeatedly called on the media to await the results of the probe and to refrain from rumor-fueled reporting.SHOW MORE

It is no surprise that US media commonly distorts the truth inside the US, at times (too often) actually outright lies and fabricates news for an agenda.

It is even worse in Turkey.

So, this needs to be read as a balance of that.

I'd like to believe it is the truth. Nothing I've previously read seems more logical. Khashoggi's background with the Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Qaeda don't speak well for his past. Yes, he could have been an agent. He has been accused of a lot.

Would Turkey try to ruin US and SA cooperation? Yes. And they are allied with the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, al-Qaeda and much more. And openly cooperates with Iran? Yep.

Make your own judgment.

“American media has been just as involved in reporting leaks from multiple unreliable sources.”

Sad, but not a surprise.

[ASOC]

I still don’t understand why this is a thing.

The cat is not a US citizen, if I understand correctly.

So, why should I or anyone else i the US care about this?

Standing by for a good explanation...

may be a deep state operation to spoil President Trump's relationship with the saudis.

OK, ... the America hating Prog Socialist American MSM is in league with America hating Islamic Terrorists to Queer any international support PDJT may have by distributing Fake News.

Am I close, I didn't even need to mention Turkey?

My observation is that the Press seems to care more about this than they did Saudi complicity in 9/11. It is odd. Maybe because he was a WAPO “contributer” (whatever that means)?

However, if there is video of him going into the Saudi embassy, where is there no video of him going out?

[Ouchthatonehurt]

A whole lot of folks don’t want to see Saudi and US getting along so well.
Russia, Russia, Russia

[Sasparilla]

An interrogation gone bad? The gun went off as he was pistol whipped with it?

[palmer]

Maybe because he was a WAPO “contributer”

That's part of the setup. A fake columnist working for the fake news. Some people wanted a wedge aganist Saudi and others wanted a cudgel with which to beat on Trump just before the election. The two interests converged and Cash Hoagie drew the short straw.

The media and the Globalists care, because he was a Muslim Brotherhood agent and a close friend and associate of Osama Bin Laden.

He never really was a "journalist." He was a radical Muslim revolutionary.

If this were not, yet another, attempt to weaken Trump, no one would care. Saudi Arabia may well have kudos coming for dealing with this PoS.

Wait till the “video” is leaked.

The Ugly Terror Truth About Jamal Khashoggi

[Texas Fossil]

Too early for judgment on details.

[Texas Fossil]

Including the US Leftist ComDems.

[Texas Fossil]

You’re very close. Close enough for horseshoes and hand grenades.

But you must include Turkey, ISIS, Al Qaeda (Nusra) and the Muslim Brotherhood into the equation.

[Texas Fossil]

Explanation?

This is an attempt to divide SA and the US, including the anti Terrorist coalition.

Now who has a motive for that?

You answered your question.

[Texas Fossil]

True That.
