What’s really great/awful about this interaction is that Tapper/lib journos only give a fuck about this because Khashoggi was one of their own.
If he was a random activist or something none of them would give a fuck, they’d be falling all over themselves to come up with excuses for Biden, “he has to be pragmatic, it’s a key ally in the region, the president can’t alienate the saudis so early in his term, bla bla fucking blah”.
It’s the same reason they hated trump, they didn’t give a fuck about the oppressed people that suffered under him, they thought he was a ChEeTo BeNiTo because he called them fake news and bullied them for being whiny nerds.
The American fifth estate is filled with snivelling self obsessed cowards.
Citations Needed had a "News Breif" episode where they talked about this as well. "Prestigious" journalists are in a club and they look after their own - but when an amateur journalist gets beaten and charged by cops for covering a protest they generally don't give a fuck.

I'll see if I can find the episode.
