The Washington Post is apparently so anti-President Donald Trump that its writers and editorial staff can’t even find it within their news sensibilities to support the White House’s strong stand against Turkey over that Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s false imprisonment of a Christian pastor.
The news staff had to find cause to ding Trump, and support Erdogan.
What kind of world are we living in when the media in America can’t even side with the safety of a wrongly imprisoned Christian pastor, over that of a brutal Muslim dictator?

As Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch wrote:
Washington Post Hits Trump For ‘Strong-Arming’ Erdogan Over Imprisoned Pastor, Praises Erdogan as ‘Unbowed’
The Post also wrote: “But Erdogan’s ability to benefit from the crisis has raised questions about whether Trump underestimated the Turkish leader, a ‘nimble tactician’ who is convinced that Western powers are bent on crippling Turkey because of its status as a strong Muslim nation.”
It doesn’t matter to the Post that Erdogan is busy dismantling Turkish secularism, or that he had Turkish mosques call for jihad as his military moved against the Kurds. They don’t care that he has laid claim to the lands once ruled by the Ottoman Empire. They don’t care how repressive or aggressive he is. He is against Trump, and that makes him the Washington Post’s friend, no matter what.
“WaPo Says Trump ‘Strong-Arming’ Turkish Islamist President Erdogan. Then It Offers This Description Of Erdogan,” by Hank Berrien, Daily Wire, August 20, 2018:
The Washington Post, in a seeming effort to undermine President Trump, published a story on Sunday night in which Trump’s efforts to get Turkey to release a detained American pastor were referred to as “strong-arming,” while Turkish Islamist President Recip [sic] Erdogan’s resistance was limned as heroically “unbowed.”
The Post wrote Trump initiated “market-rattling economic sanctions and humiliating public rebukes” but “Erdogan, for the moment, appears unbowed.”
The Post opines that Erdogan has used Trump’s aggressive posture to rally domestic support to his side, thus vitiating the anger against him for Turkey’s failing economy. The Post delightedly quotes Erdogan huffing that Turkey “will not surrender to those who act like a strategic partner but make us a strategic target.”…
No matter, the Post has Erdogan’s back: “But Erdogan’s ability to benefit from the crisis has raised questions about whether Trump underestimated the Turkish leader, a ‘nimble tactician’ who is convinced that Western powers are bent on crippling Turkey because of its status as a strong Muslim nation, said Lisel Hintz, a professor of international relations at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies.”
The Post gleefully quotes Hintz bloviating, “Trump has played exactly into Erdogan’s hands.”…

If the prisoner being held in Turkey were an atheist, or a muslim, the SAME media would be blasting Trump daily for not doing enough to get him released. They would be calling him ‘racist’ for not caring enough about American citizens, etc. But, because it’s a Christian, then it’s ok. Let him rot, as far as they are concerned. Sick.

Turkey is a “strong, muslim nation” eh? Was it strong when it:
1. invaded/annexed/ethnically cleansed 40% of Cyprus
2. committed the Istanbul pogrom
If the Washington Post is enamored of islamic theocracies maybe they should relocate their offices to Istanbul or Ankara where their islamic propaganda would be much better received.

Effectively (fundamental, broad and deep NEGATIVE impact on US life / future pertaining to all ~325 million of us living in America), “progressives” in the US, are far more dangerous / destructive to our safety / prosperity / freedom as US citizens, then ~1.6 billion primitive / savage / blood thirsty / Anti American Muslims (that could be dealt with using carrots and very big sticks) could ever be…
“progressives” in the US are like a full blown, ultra aggressive AIDS / Pancreatic cancer / 98%, highly corrosive, sulphuric acid (like the MOB uses to vaporise their murder victims in a bathtub or a large plastic container…) that is on a systematic / relentless mission to dissolve America from within
A GOP midterm election win (maintaining or even strengthening GOP Congress majorities) will drive many US “progressives” irreversibly insane, couple that with a Trump 2020 Victory (and a wide / deep purge of Democrat criminal traitors from the Obama / HRC era) and we will witness a moral / ideological / institutional collapse of the Democratic party and what will be America that has never been Greater!!

Like every muslim nation,Turkey hates the west. She always has throughout her history. Why should that be any different today?
The only turkish leader who did not hate the west, was “Ataturk” (father of the Turks), the founder of the formerly secular and democratic Turkey. He even abolished the arab lettering and imposed european lettering on Turkey and he called islam “a rotted carcass that poisons our people”!
But sultan Erdogan I has buried Ataturk once and for all!

I had a glimmer of hope that even the most tuned out among us are noticing the bias. My elderly dad who watches nothing but baseball, football, golf or the weather channel was on a long road trip and forced to listen to talk radio. He DOES listen to Rush. He was traveling to a rural area. I spoke to him last night and he said, “boy, they are really after your President.” “Are they all in on it together?” I told him YES– and that the only station that gave a fair shake was Fox. Now…..when my daddy notices you KNOW it is blatant.
