Protests in Jordan

I am still amazed--not really--at the clear pattern of Western media disregard for protests in Jordan against the lousy regime.  It is worse than that: Western media still host the king of Jordan and ask him about repression in...Syria or in...Yemen.  They talk to him as if they are talking to the prime minister of Sweden.  Yet, protests in Jordan are growing and the slogans are becoming more vocal and they touch upon the King and his land grabs.  I am expecting the Queen the tweet on this any time now.  She should tweek: Oh, they now are criticizing us for corruption and land grabs.  What is wrong with corruption and land grabs?   Let me make this prediction for you: Queen Youtube would not be performing pilgrimage to Davos this year.
