The media should be focusing on it. Yeah, there's other stuff happening, and bigger problems with the government in general, but the media suddenly switching to "btw look at Yemen" is not only not going to help what's happening in Yemen, but is also a pretty damn good "See? It's not me, it's government!" distraction for Trump. I absolutely disagree with this entirely. If the Yemen stuff got serious news coverage it might actually put pressure for it to be addressed. And I dont think it gives trump an out in the slightest. It's not like people arent going to be mad at trump for not dealing with it in a better way. Nor is it going to stop the coverage of the Russia stuff. News outlets can cover multiple stories effectively. They used to do it just fine. The investigation will continue regardless of the media covering it. And it's not like having the majority of the media's attention on it will help Mueller and his team at all. In fact, i would say its less likely that coverage of Russia does anything to help than coverage of Yemen would. --- [various robot sounds] ... Copied to Clipboard! |
