I remember the Gulf War, and how we could get 24 hour coverage from the battle zone on CNN. And we are certainly giving the Ukrainians enough money that they could allow considerable news coverage from their side of the battle. But instead, we get this same twaddle every night. And urban legends like the “Ghost of Kiev.”
This war is White Christian genocide.
That’s precisely what it is and you have FR war whores cheering it on.
Here is the latest iteration of that Great Victorious Knight Of the Sky™
Ladies and gents, behold the World Famous Ghost Of Chicken Kiev™!!!
Slavo U Craynee!!! All Hail the Ghost!!
Slavo U Craynee!!! All Hail the Ghost!!
My goodness, there is a TON of coverage. Esp. on You Tube. There is also the Kyiv Post, The Kyiv Independent, BBC, CNN*, France-24, some German language outlets, Polish, small Baltic nations, Romania... uh, are you getting my drift? Plus dozens of small groups or individuals.
Now, if what you want is some sort of 24/7 coverage by correspondents on the Ukrainian side of the front, first understand Ukraine is a modest size country of modest wealth — there simply is no TV news organization there to remotely compare to the resources of, say, CNN. This is also a far different sort of war: In the Gulf War (either), with a few exceptions (basically, reporters in downtown Bagdhad hotels off limits to air strikes), Western news crews were either away from the “front” (when such even existed) or were with Western troop units that had overwhelming air superiority working with them. In Ukraine it is far too dangerous to have news crews running around near the fighting. We have some of the mercenaries like “Civ Div” taking videos, but they are PAID to go get shot at (and shoot back)...
Then there are translation issues in a every-millisecond-counts environment.
