It's in large part the choice of topic rather than the details of the article. They could have chosen to highlight how Yemeni defenses work in light of a US backed Saudi bombing campaign.
- nl 9y agohow Yemeni defenses work in light of a US backed Saudi bombing campaign What Yemeni defenses? There are none, and there is no story about it. The NY Times has covered the outrageous Saudi behavior extensively. "Saudis Try to Starve Yemen Into Submission" https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/16/opinion/saudi-arabia-yemen-famine.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/16/opinion/saudi-arabia-yeme... "Yemen’s War Is a Tragedy. Is It Also a Crime?" https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/22/world/middleeast/yemen-crimes-against-humanity.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/22/world/middleeast/yemen-cr... "2 Paths for Yemen’s War-Scarred Children: Combat, or Marriage" https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/09/world/middleeast/yemen-war-children.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/09/world/middleeast/yemen-wa...

I could keep going. Trying to characterize them as excusing the Saudis somehow seems to misrepresent their reporting.
