There hasn’t been any real information about what happened to the journalist, or about any other entanglements he may have been involved in. There is a good chance KSA wanted him dead, but most in the US do not take seriously the question of whether the US stance toward Saudi is flawed. The US just sold KSA massive amounts of weaponry. The Intercept has solid journalism. The New Yorker does also, some of the time. Journalistic standards have been abandoned by the major news orgs in favor of in group targeted stories that are activism oriented (in the left vs right partisan fray) and not truth seeking. It has been clear for a long time that the WaPo and NYT are playing partisan politics and are cashing in their previously earned journalistic credibility to do so. Both papers wasted the first few years of Trump’s presidency with front page stores about his manners and buffoonery, with no serious investigative work until the story about Trump’s inheritance earlier this year. It’s as if the reporters think their job is to “discover” the blindingly obvious fact that Trump is crass again and again while ignoring the war crimes and bipartisan evil that has been progressing nicely since Trump took office.
