Listen carefully. There's a lot of sloppy and inaccurate talking on TV right now.

As early as last evening, I heard people saying that Russia had "invaded" the Donbas region of Ukraine. Yet, there was NO EVIDENCE offered to show that a single soldier had crossed the border.

Putin had "given the order" and troops and trucks had "repositioned". And, that was described as an "invasion" which should trigger all of the "swift and severe sanctions" that President Biden promised will result.

This morning, there is discussion about "whether" there has been an actual movement across the border. And, again, it is "sorta/kinda" being implied that maybe the President is not imposing the sanctions he promised and "what message does this send to Putin" is being asked.

Listen. Carefully. Please.

7. I have nothing to refute or contradict that, but I have to wonder why CNN and MSNBC are not

showing that video or speaking with such certainty.

I don't know.

8. There is probably a lot that we do NOT know... could be intentional..... who knows..

4. Swift and severe sanctions are long overdue.

5. Well President Zelenskyy went on Ukrainian national TV . . .

"invasion" being the main topic besides patriotic subjects.

Psychological games, President Biden and administration are getting good at it since RWers play a horrible gambit of it all the time.

6. Breaking News should always be viewed with a skeptical eye.

The first reports are seldom the most accurate ones.

This is not a slam at the media. It's just the nature of gathering information.

9. Television news and opinion in the U.S.A. is garbage.

I turned it off forever a few days after 9/11/2001.

10. I'm seeing that here more than anywhere else.

Along with predictions for WW3, panicky admonitions to stock up on whatever, etc.
