On the next Your Call’s media roundtable, we’ll discuss coverage of the alleged killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Mounting evidence points to the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s role in Khashoggi’s gruesome killing.
We’ll also discuss how casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson influences Donald Trump’s policies on Israel.

Join the conversation, on the next Your Call, with Rose Aguilar, and you.
