American media never says ANYTHING about what is going on in the world, you have to listen to BBC to even know the rest of the world exists. Americans don’t care, so why report it.
In the House, almost every single Republican voted for the $715 billion Pentagon budget – along with about 2/3rds of the Democrats. Just think, if every Republican was voted out … the war funding would still almost have a veto-proof majority.
Does Rall think news reporting is a zero-sum game? I read an article about the bombing. I read an article about the dog tweet. A google search for “saudi air strike bus” shows tons of hits for US media. Oh look, here’s an article on CNN about this very issue : https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/17/middleeast/us-saudi-yemen-bus-strike-intl/index.html . The article notes that Obama (democrat) banned the sale of these precision bombs to Saudi Arabia. Trump overturned that ban. Wouldn’t highlighting that fact be more pertinent to what happened? Oh wait, that would mean being critical of a Republican, which seems to be outside Rall’s wheelhouse.

Trump admin is keeping their war exploits and arms sales secret.
We’re merrily on our way to WW III for no particular reason.

How did you manage to blame women for the lack of coverage about Saudis blowing up a bus of children? Your misogyny shines through every day.
