Wow.

The Washington post buying political propaganda for the Superbowl.

How the mighty have fallen.

When you have to buy propaganda ads during to Superbowl to convince us how wonderful you are, you are toast.

Journalism died the day the main stream media decided that yellow journalism was more important than honest, investigative, and well-sourced reporting.

Well said, I doubt their death rattle is far off.

The ad will be effective because a whole lot of people are appalled that Saudi Arabia got off the hook, again. Just like they did after 911. And neither bought-and-paid for political party seems to care.

So the Compost is laying out $5-million-plus bucks for a THIRTY-second political ad protecting its own main-stream-media leftists

(Personally, it couldn't care a fig about the late Khashoggi).

This rag's owners should be hauled before a federal judge for violating election laws governing political contributions to their left arm, the radical Democrat Party.

An ad about journalists?

We don’t have them any more.
Instead we have propagandists.

Certainly the WAPO doesn’t have any journalists ever since Krauthammer passed away.

I would imagine that polling and subscription sales tell them they have a problem. Like any failing business, they’re investing in advertising, hoping to help turn it around.

freelance columnist Jamal Khashoggi

Sorry, WaPo, not a journalist. Operative for the Muslim Brotherhood, yes, but someone that writes a couple of guest columns is not a journalist.

Is he dead? Where's the proof (or "poof", as Lanny Davis would say)? Because Turkey is claiming he is dead? Not good enough.

Journalism dies when journalists lie to advance their own agendas instead of reporting the truth wherever it might lead.

he was known to be connected to the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood

Of those who will recognize Khashoggi's name, few will know of his Moslem Brotherhood association.

Is he dead?

I thought that was established. If he weren't, wouldn't Saudi Arabia have gotten that information out? It's hard to believe that in the world we live in, there aren't a few countries that know everything that goes on in that embassy.

Bozos, who owns and uses the WaPooh as his personal blog, won’t miss the money.

“I would imagine that polling and subscription sales tell them they have a problem. Like any failing business, they’re investing in advertising, hoping to help turn it around.”

Their focus groups are telling them that their fish wraps are not selling.

So they are wasting mega bucks to advertise how good and important they are.

Their target group for this expensive ad, probably does not subscribe to any newspapers nor bothers to read any newspaper, if they can read.

Meanwhile newspapers across America are laying off people because of decreasing subscriptions and less Ad $’s coming in.

After Bezos’s soon to be ex wife leaves him with only his dirty underwear, the Compost will be laying off people. Bezos can’t afford to waste more money on the Compost after his divorce is final.
