The media does not want to abandon Mexico even thou more journalist have been killed in that country than Saudi Arabia

Elizabeth Vaughn:
Memo To The Mainstream Media: US Presidents Have Allied With Evil Regimes Throughout Our History
Stalin killed millions yet the media ignored it or made excuses for it because they were sympathetic to communism.  Vaughn discusses other Middle Eastern countries where the US had imperfect allies.  The bottom line is that U interests will always be the key factor in relationships.  The alternative would be to help a greater enemy in Iran, which was responsible for the murders of many more Americans.

Even some Democrats see the importance of sustaining our current relationship:
Top House Democrat on Saudi Arabia and Khashoggi murder: 'Show our annoyance, but I don't think you slam the door'

...
“I feel that obviously what was done with Khashoggi is horrific, and we just can't look the other way,” Engel told the Washington Examiner during a recent interview. "On the other hand, I don't believe it's in our interests to blow up the relationship that we have with the Saudis.”
...
Engel gets it even if the Washington Post does not.

Mollie Hemingway also scolds the DC establishments response to Trump decision.
