MSNBC's Velshi Can't Comprehend Why Murder of Saudi Journalist Would Bother Trump
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/14/2018 12:34:53 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Since President Trump criticizes US journalists for propagating fake news, it's incomprehensible that he would care if a foreign country murdered a journalist. That's the kind of twisted, bizarre logic that Ali Velshi employed while guest hosting Joy Reid's MSNBC show this morning.

Velshi put it to Amy Kremer of Women Vote Trump PAC that it was difficult to square Trump's criticism of the media with the concern he expressed over the possible murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the hands of the Saudi government.

Kremer patiently explained to Velshi that the two matters are entirely different:

Velshi's noggin was impervious to Kremer's crystal-clear logic, as he repeated: "You say the president’s attack on journalists is because of inaccurate and fake news reported. That’s the same excuse the Turks use, the Chinese and the Saudis use, right?...You can see the connection I’m making, right?"

Watch this MSNBC host make like he can’t understand the difference between Pres. Trump’s criticism of journalists, and the Saudi government’s possible murder of one.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Velshi, President Trump would probably even be bothered if the Saudis murdered you, as obtuse you are.

Note: Looks like Al Jazeera is NBC’s farm team. We noted this past week that NBC’s Morgan Radford used to work for Al Jazeera. Turns out, Velshi did, too.

Media idiots like Mark Finklestein like to pretend that they are in danger of something more than harsh words.

It makes them feel important.

With respect, did you read the article? In no way did Finkelstein [= me, governs] express concern for his safety.

PS: if you’re going to call someone else an “idiot,” try to avoid misspelling his name.

Exactly. Ordinary journalists do not sit at the right hand of corrupt Saudi princes:

This isn’t your ordinary journalist....not by a long shot. He is Canadian, may be a US citizen by marriage....worked for some time for Al Jazeera, has been a critic of America and now of course POTUS is rich in Ali Velshi's odious and misleading remarks.

Liberals have no decency and compassion so they can’t understand it in anyone else.

“Journalist” was a jihadiscum.

All jihadiscum must die, regardless of whatever job titles they pretend to.

Good grief just watched that broad on Cnn almost go into tears about that WApO journalist. SA,Turkey and WaPo Jeff Bezos are all our enemies, let them sort it out.
