The media cannot be trusted in anything.
Why are there no AP reporters embedded with Ukraine military units as was done in Iraq? Rather than parrot whatever comes from the Zelensky gov’t.
I say Zelensky gov’t rather than Ukraine gov’t because their election day was this past Sunday and no election was held.
Their constitution forbids them from holding elections under martial law.

There were some, but most of them were killed in artillery or missile strikes. The CNN reporter Clarissa Ward was with drawn because the danger was overwhelming.
Also, US forces are no longer embedding the press, as it was a disaster with reporters in Iraq announcing US battle plans for the day.
Because Russians target journalists, even away from the front lines, and because in a war where the sides are closely matched in fighting ability it is too dangerous for most journalists to go with troops.
But there are plenty of reports from journalists at or near the front lines, and a nearly unlimited supply of video direct from drones or soldiers with cameras on the front lines. This is the most documented war in history.
Between satellite images, drone video, and first person video from GoPro cameras on soldiers' helmets you can see whatever level of detail you want.
Watch the video to see why there are not many reporters brave enough to go to the front.
There is a big difference between fighting between peer level armies and fighting between the USA and Iraqi bozos.
