Maybe CNN is biased, but News is news.
Anyhow I think Trump is right not to punish Saudis over a reporter. Saudi is a free country. Why should the US "punish the Saudis", is the US responsible for Saudi governments decisions? Did I miss the news where Trump became the ruler of Saudi? It is not like the US to meddle in the affairs of sovereign and independent nations.

He was probably killed as a result of articles he wrote for the Washington Post. One can easily understand why the Washington Post feels guilty and asks our government to get involved, which is standard procedure if the journalist were an American Citizen. This man wasn't, but he did live in the US.
