Honest question: Are there any honest brokers of information in the dispute over Ukraine? It appears to me that all of the reporting has either touted or reflected the views, misinformation and disinformation of one side or the other. In this high stakes play between an expanding EU/NATO and a shrunken Russia, what “free press” outlet doesn’t have an agenda?
I’ve been looking and haven’t found one which is sort of surprising given the number of countries that are, in theory, concerned about the situation.

None that I have found.
Everyone has an angle to push, it seems. A quick look at Twitter will show that, as events get reported 4 or 5 different ways, even by reporters on the scene. NYTimes reporters tweet updates, that never actually make it on to the New York Times website, for instance.
The US Media is reporting only select events, sometimes DAYS after they happen. Nothing new on MH370, Bieber being detained at LAX, and The Royal Clinton Baby seem to be much more important news to them.
It’s the 21st Century, world-wide communications are almost instantaneous now. Which makes diving the truth that much harder.
