  1. Yemen is one of the most important and serious world events right now. It's despicable how little coverage corporate media is giving it. All the other things you cited are also very important. What the media chooses to cover and emphasize—and also what it neglects and downplays—says a lot about their priorities. For weeks there's been wall-to-wall Weinstein coverage, and while that story is important, it simply doesn't compare to things like Yemen and the tax plan. Democrats moan about how Trump and his cronies constantly deflect onto other issues. Agreed, but then the Democrats spend all their time chasing this alleged Russian hacking scandal—for which no proof has been made available for public scrutiny; only assurances by the intelligence community, recalling other quagmires—instead of going after what matters, Trump's policies, in a progressive way that mobilizes citizens. The truth is that while there are important differences between Trump/GOP and the Democrats it's a difference of degree, not of kind. Both want private healthcare insurance; both support endless war, regime change, and the drone assassination program; both are okay with an economic system that disproportionately benefits the rich, creating a neo-aristocracy, and exacerbating unprecedented levels of income and wealth inequality; both have tried to cut Social Security and other social benefits; both conciliate to big banks and big oil; both have augmented our nuclear arsenal; both support an inordinately expensive and vast military-industrial complex.
