Yeah as awful as what happened to Kashoggi is, Saudi Arabia was been savagely murdering people for decades and nobody blinked.
It’s not just the Turks— this whole thing is an internal power struggle over dynastic succession with hundreds of billions of dollars at stake.
Nobody making a stink about this in Congress gives a solitary shit about press freedom in Saudi Arabia. I guarantee there is some money being funneled to all those guys from some interest in Saudi Arabia opposed to the crown prince.

It's understandable, but not admirable, that the media only cares when it's someone they identify with.

Very good question. I heard that a Saudi consulate in DC asked him to go to Turkey. Khashoggi should not have gone to any Saudi consulate at all--of course, this is something one learns after the fact. But he should have known better that Saudi is not some random Western country.

In this case, literally a member of the US media.

It's really palpable when the media comes out swinging when it's about one of their own.
Can definitely empathize.
