Watching Ukraine: Will Americans stay tuned?
The hill ^ | 04/23/2022 | TARA D. SONENSHINE

With the standoff between Russian troops and Ukrainian fighters holed up in Mariupol, the world’s attention remains focused on this ghastly war 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — or so it seems.

CNN has rarely cut away from the war to cover other stories. It has 75 people in Ukraine. Fox News is having a ratings spike due to Ukraine coverage — up 26 percent in viewership over the same month last year.

How long will the media stay focused, given that the war could drag on for many months?

Don’t care.

None of our business. Move the cameras to El Paso, Brownsville, and Yuma

The media spotlight is fading. No articles on Drudge and even Kilmead removed his Ukraine 🇺🇦 pocket square 😆

I tuned out when I realized that I’d never know the truth from propaganda from any source.

I look for the tank kills on YouTube. They’re all the same so that tells me there’s not much going on. No reporter wants to get too close.

Anything is better than watching the dreadful Johnny Depp.

Could he be less articulate?

If it was really that popular, CNN+ would still exist. It would be thriving , feeding the nonstop hunger for more pro-Ukraine propaganda. Americans would be taking to the streets in pro-war, or anti-war demonstrations.

Oh wait, they aren’t?

I refuse. Let them play in their backyards and I’ll ignore them from mine.

And that’s the whole point!

Divert attention from the Invasion of our country that they are facilitating

No, it’s becoming boring and Americans have short attention spans.
It’s not even American troops.
I’m sure something about that fat assed slut is more important now.

No offense to the poor people of the Ukraine but it was never high on my list of things I care about.

I don’t watch Fox, but catch Tucker on YouTube. All corporate media is a sham.

The Ukes in Mariupol are surrounded, and they are demanding that a withdrawl be negotiated. Shouldn’t those troops just surrender at this point?

The media spotlight is fading.

Because the actual news doesn't fit the narrative.

Were the Ukrainians ever “watching” and “staying tuned” to the USA as we have been overrun by tens of millions of invaders? Have the Ukrainians sent us billions of dollars to protect our border? Have the Ukrainians all switched their profile pictures to the U.S. flag? No? Then they can piss off.
