Erdogan wanted to weaken the Saudis in order to strengthen Turkey’s bid to be once again the leader of the Islamic world. The Western media eagerly played along, wanting to use the Khashoggi murder as a stick they could use to beat Trump, as well as to weaken the opposition to the Islamic Republic of Iran, and burnish Obama’s legacy, the Iranian nuclear deal. So Turkish intel and the Western establishment media happily cooperated with each other, their goals coinciding.
This indicates once again that the establishment media is not by any stretch of the imagination an actual news source. It’s just a propaganda organ for the Left.
#Erdogan also admitted that #Turkey's National Intelligence Organization (MIT) runs the campaign to publicise #KhashoggiMurder, said whatever the Western press, especially the US media, asked of the intel agency were met by MIT which is led by his confidante Hakan Fidan. pic.twitter.com/p0D6iBB0gv
