Julia Davis covers Russian TV news shows like no one else.
Amazing this was broadcast last night. Is something brewing over there?

1. She is great. This is the type of vital info that the 'ban twitter from DU' crew would have blocked.

3. Davis is an impeccable and dogged source.
Her Twitter feed can be overwhelming, but it's hard to understand anyone who's ever clicked through on any of her links or tweets still harbouring any sympathy whatsoever for the Putin regime.
I'll add another hard information source that complements her output: https://twitter.com/wartranslated Dmitri transcribes and translates various materials from the Russian side, including intercepted phone conversations, and a lot of it is very eye-opening. |

6. It might be ineresting to compare Twitter sources, but it looks like you have it well covered.
For anyone else who might be interested, here are a few of mine I check out regularly.
Here's Josh Marshall's Ukraine Twitter list (I don't check out this one that often, but it includes some I do, like Anders Ĺslund, Ukraine Weapons Tracker, Julia Davis (who we've discussed), The Kyiv Independent, Illia Ponomarenko etc.): https://twitter.com/i/lists/1494877848087187461 Individual accounts (mainly aggregators unless they're individuals' names): The Dead District (based in Georgia) - https://twitter.com/TheDeadDistrict Glasnost Gone - https://twitter.com/GlasnostGone NEXTA - https://twitter.com/nexta_tv Oryx - https://twitter.com/oryxspioenkop News of Ukraine - https://twitter.com/uasupport999 Russia Vs World - https://twitter.com/RussiaVsWorld_ ТРУХА English - https://twitter.com/TpyxaNews Euromaidan Press (can get a bit over-excited, depending who's staffing it) - https://twitter.com/EuromaidanPress BlueSauron - https://twitter.com/Blue_Sauron Trent Telenko - https://twitter.com/TrentTelenko Phillips P. OBrien - https://twitter.com/PhillipsPOBrien Visegrád 24 - https://twitter.com/visegrad24 Thomas C. Theiner - https://twitter.com/noclador WarMonitor - https://twitter.com/WarMonitor3 Rob Lee - https://twitter.com/RALee85 Jason Jay Smart - https://twitter.com/officejjsmart Jay in Kyiv - https://twitter.com/JayinKyiv ZMiST - https://twitter.com/ZMiST_Ua I could draw the individual ones together in a Twitter list, but I think it would be duplicative (and overwhelming!). I check out different ones on different days, depending on mood and the type of info I'm after. |

5. I agree!
Davis is really good. I check her twitter page regularly. As she says at the top: She watches Russian TV so we don't have to. And some of the ridiculous things coming out of these broadcasters' mouths is incredible. Plus, I didn't realize what a bromance they've had with Tucker Carlson. They love the dude and he loves them right back. Now, they're enamored with Elon Musk.
Ugh! |
