  The cynic in me thinks that, like most things the media reports on these days it seems, there is an attraction to stories that undermine Trump. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I'm going to assume that this sudden meme about Saudi Arabia emerging is evidence in favor of there being some currently undisclosed diplomatic headway in the peace talks underway between the US, SA, Israel, and others that have been ongoing since Trump's trip to Riyadh the first month of his presidency.

    No, it's much simpler than that. A journalist was murdered, and that hits close to home for... journalists. Unlike genocide in Yemen.
