I thought you might be interested in the video above. Starting at about 2:00 and continuing until about 9:00, Al Jazeera compares and contrasts the media coverage of the battle for Aleppo with that for Mosul. in the piece journalist Dmitry Babich makes a good point (roughly transcribed by me):
The “fog of war” is now in media editors’ offices. American media don’t notice civilian casualties in Mosul; Russian media don’t notice civilian casualties in Aleppo.
And nobody notices civilian casualties in Yemen.

More differentiation.
On both Yemen and Cass Sunstein’s wife.

“Samantha Power, the US ambassador to the United Nations, who made a lucrative career posturing as a human rights champion, was one of the leading proponents within the Obama administration for US support for the war against the people of Yemen. She has also been one of the principal defenders of the Saudi regime within the United Nations, which on Friday re-elected the blood-soaked monarchy to its human rights council.
Power, who has led the demonization of Russia over alleged war crimes in Aleppo, has, for obvious reason, shown no such sympathy for those dying from starvation and US bombs in Yemen.”
If the optimal answer is 2.1 you ain’t never gonna get there by compromising between 3.1 and 4.3.
Yes, but at least we’ve had someone in the White House with “a steady hand.” Plus the most excellent judgment to nominate HRC for Secy of State. That worked out well.
Please enlighten me, I recall President, Noble peace prize recipient Obama being asked, if Saudi Arabia is our ally, Why doesn’t he pressure them on these human rights issues, and on their financial support of Wahhabi Madrassahs worldwide. He smiled the shyest, most endearing smile, lowered his beautiful eyes, and uttered the knowing phrase, “it’s complicated”. Like everyone else, my heart melted, I wanted to kiss him on His darling forehead and make Him President For Life.
Only one little thing, He never answered the Goddamn question and no one pressed Him on it.
What DO these Saudi assholes have over us? It ain’t oil anymore.
I wonder if they have something over US, or over HIM?
