Journalist Abby Martin confronted the hypocrisy of Secretary of State Antony Blinken about the U.S.’s inaction on journalist violence in Israel and Saudi Arabia, our two closest allies in the Middle East. Martin highlighted how the U.S. postures as a bastion of free speech while simultaneously putting no political or economic pressure on our allies after the state-sanctioned murders of journalists Shireen Abu Akleh and Jamala Khashoggi. Cenk Uygur and Jayar Jackson discuss on The Young Turks.
“@AbbyMartin calls out hypocrisy of Sec Blinken: you lecture about press freedom but do nothing when Shireen Abu Akleh and Jamal Khashoggi, two journalists and US citizens, are murdered.
Why are you buying bullets for the worst abusers of journalists like Saudi Arabia & Israel?”
