‘Truly appalling’: Hayes shreds Trump’s threat to keep Evan Gershkovich hostagewww.youtube.com “In a move that is truly appalling, even by his degraded standards, Donald Trump appears to be openly colluding with Vladimir Putin in the hostage-taking of ...

i mean i guess i too have had jobs where i knew my boss would literally kill me if it meant more money from him but i'd expect journalists to have a little self respect and at least act like theyre unhappy about it

The Wall Street Journal would essentially have to stop being the Wall Street Journal. Which, yes! It should.

I suspect most of Evan's co-workers would happily send him and many other co-workers to the Saudi Embassy to get bone-sawed to death if you told them it would help Trump destroy his enemies.

WaPo journalists immediately memoryholed the fact that Trump's son in law helped a foreign regime butcher one of their correspondents so I would expect WSJ's to do the same.

I think this son of a bitch should be arrested for extortion.

The Reagan playbook all over again.

stiff upper lip territory it appears

You mean credulously regurgitating Johnson and McCarthy lying about signs of senility is a choice?
