The Washington Post plans to run a full-page ad Friday drawing attention to the death of columnist Jamal Khashoggi, part of a broader push that publisher Fred Ryan told POLITICO would continue "until meaningful action is taken" over Saudi Arabia's role in the killing.
The ad, which a Post spokesperson said is a precursor to a larger advertising campaign planned for early 2019, features an image of the Saudi journalist with his face illuminated by a candle and reads, A life is gone. The principles of free expression endure.
In a year-end memo to staff Wednesday, Ryan blistered the U.S. administration over its efforts to brush past Khashoggis killing, which U.S. intelligence believes was ordered by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Many people are frustrated and feel betrayed by the Trump administrations apparent effort to sweep Jamals killing under the rug and its failure to stand up for Americas values," Ryan wrote in the memo. "They can be assured that The Washington Post will not rest until justice is served on those who ordered Jamals killing, those who carried it out, and those who continue to try to cover it up.

Just because the Trump administration is looking wobbly right now is no reason to stop hammering them for all the crimes.

Donald Trump is toast if he can't control the narrative. Trump is toast if the M$M starts reporting the truth.
