With the advent of internet, cell phones and citizen-reporters, ink and paper newspapers are on the wane and the traditional reporting a dying profession.

The honorable job of reporters, which did not slant the news to suit some other political/financial interests, has now given way to reporter for hire and activists posing as reporters.

Some toe the line for a specific political group, others for business conglomerates and yet others freelance and do the job they’re asked to do for whoever pays.

Jason Rezaian, who was highly recommended by the NIAC Lobby, which does the bidding for the Islamist fascists -”reformers” and all-  is one of freelancers who eventually became Washington Posts’ Tehran man.

His body of reporting from Iran, aside the mostly fluffs, was painting a picture of an Islamist system gyrating into becoming a mainstream normal democratic government.  

Well, when his usefulness had expired, he was taken hostage to be added to other American hostages to be ransomed by America. A replay of a play Islamist fascist have done so often they’ve become master of hostage taking in the world, bar none.  

When Obama paid the nearly $2 billion dollar ransom in untraceable cash for the return of 4 hostages, one of them was Jason Rezaian.

Associated Press reports:

“A US journalist [Jason Rezaian] who was imprisoned in Iran for 18 months filed suit Monday against the Tehran government, claiming his detention was aimed at "extorting concessions" from the United States.”

I hope Rezaian and others who have been harmed, many who have lost loved ones, do get hefty monetary judgments against the Islamist fascists –“reformers” and all.

I also hope, the many Islamist fascists who are now residing in the free world, including America and Canada, do become targeted by claimants of such lawsuits and have their immense wealth, which are demonstrably looted from Iranians back home, targeted for collection.

Not counting any future judgment attained through the lawsuit, as is, the dollar amount “extorted” for the release of Rezaian makes him the most expensive reporter in history.

Sanction works, U.S. Senate, get to it.
