Folks let's respect the topic here...it's in Media because it's about the Media and how it reports something.

For the popular US cable news network MSNBC, the largest humanitarian catastrophe in the world is apparently not worth much attention—even as the US government has played a key role in creating and maintaining that unparalleled crisis. An analysis by FAIR has found that the leading liberal cable network did not run a single segment devoted specifically to Yemen in the second half of 2017. And in these latter roughly six months of the year, MSNBC ran nearly 5,000 percent more segments that mentioned Russia than segments that mentioned Yemen.- Source

#1 - Another reason the corporate owned MSM is totally without credibility. In this case "omission" is just as bad as propaganda. Control over what people see and hear.

#2 - Fox is no more bias than MSNBC and CNN.

#3 - So-called liberal sources are just as bad as conservative sources.

Well, the mainstream media has ignored most of the little wars the US is involved in around the world. Why? Because most Americans don't know Yemen is a country, don't know where it is, don't know why people are fighting, and don't care.

Why? Because there's no propaganda from it.

North Korea is used as a common enemy. ISIS was too. Saddam Hussein was. Osama Ibn Laden was too.

However Yemen doesn't offer very much in the way of propaganda to keep the people happy that the US is somehow doing the right thing.

This isn't just about the mainstream media.
