Coverage of Mr Trump’s financial arrangements with KSA were prominent in coverage of that visit, and what the change could mean. For example, while campaigning he said that KSA was responsible for 9/11 and that it wouldn’t exist without American intervention. The story of his visit as POTUS notably covered this change. Mainstream media covered his son-in-law arranging Saudi funding. Covering change is more important than fanning outrage.

You missed the point. That is, they are not the only ones. In fact, the whole country (read: US fed gov, and perhaps plenty of states) are in bed - comfortably - with SA.

But as long as they have oil, and we need to kneel before them, our media plays along.

Note: This is not a critique of SA. They're a sovereign nation. I'm not fit to judge (and it's off topic). This is a critique of Western media and it's willingness to look away.
