We can always..wait, I mean never count on our fine media betters to stand up to dictators.

Via Weasel Zippers, we see this article at Mashable about a Turkish Brute Squad “‘protecting” Turkish Thuggocrat Erdogan by attacking journalists in DC at an event at the Brookings Institute.

So how did our fine media betters cover it?

Faux News covered it straight. Good for them.

 

The Wash Post “covered” it.

But the event was seemingly upstaged by proceedings outside the venue, where protesters appeared to clash with Erdogan supporters,

“Seemingly” and “appeared to”…

It’s all just a “he said, she bled all over the place” sort of thing.

 

The NY Times ignored it.

CNN hilariously has this story headlined

‘I’m not at war with press,’ says Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan

 

Geez, who do they think he is? Saddam?

 

I fucking hate the NYTimesWashPostCNNABCCBSNBCetc. (Minitrue) and want only penury and unemployment for each and every one of those yellow journalistic assholes.

I only say that because wishing death and destruction on any of our protected class (does not include Republicans, conservatives or Trump) is grounds for a visit from Thinkpol and a trip to room 101.
