There are about a dozen things that Karen Attiah, the daughter of African immigrants, who serves as the Washington Post’s Global Opinions Editor, should have been fired for.
Like the Jamal Khashoggi hoax.
“Attiah rocketed to fame during the Jamal Khashoggi hoax in which the old friend of Osama bin Laden was falsely depicted as a journalist and human rights campaigner, when in reality he was an Islamist terrorist supporter who was promoting material created for him by his sponsors in Qatar.”
Attiah attacked France for trying to crack down on Muslim terrorism by falsely claiming that President Macron “wants to give Muslim kids ID numbers to go to school.” Rather than suffer any consequences, the Washington Post allowed her to write an article complaining that France was responding to Muslims beheadings of its people with “feverish fragility.” She claimed that Brexit was motivated by “Islamophobia” and so was fighting “honor killings” among Muslims.
She effectively endorsed Oct 7 and spread every possible smear and lie about Israel.
Karen Attiah spread propaganda, accused everyone of racism and made false claims.
Karen Attiah of the Washington Post falsely claimed that it was an “advanced lesson in anti-blackness” and tweeted, “Florida and DeSantis are showing us what was under their *ahem* hoods this entire time.”
Finally she went too far, distorting and spreading a fake Charlie Kirk quote. “Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person’s slot.”
The Washington Post finally went ahead and fired her. And the Washington Post employees union went to bat for her.
“The Washington Post Guild condemns the unjust firing of columnist Karen Attiah. The Washington Post wrongly fired Opinions columnist Karen Attiah over her social media posts. The Post not only flagrantly disregarded standard disciplinary processes, it also undermined its own mandate to be a champion of free speech. The right to speak freely is the ultimate personal liberty and the foundation of Karen’s 11-year career at The Post. We’re proud to call Karen a colleague and a longtime union sibling. The Post Guild stands with her and will continue to support her and defend her rights.”
So Washington Post employees are fine with faking quotes. How can you trust their stories? You can’t.
