What precedent had this set? That our allies have free reign to kill journalists unless they are American residents? And if they do kill American residents, they'd better prepare for a light scolding? As currently the bill to end US support of the war in Yemen was blocked, and it has been a whole three days since "coalition forces," or American assisted planes, bombed a bus in Yemen killing seven civilians.
Just like the supreme court can't cover every case that exists, the media can't cover every story that exists.
I guess they both have to pick the most powerful stories/case to cover that sets precedent and can be applied to other similar stories/cases going forward.
Which is what happened with Kashoggi.
