Here is our coverage of the ongoing War in Ukraine. It begins in the western city of Lviv and features interviews with the city’s mayor, as well as Jake Hanr...
In classic Andrew style I do appreciate that he just talked to people and didn’t offer any real commentary. This video defiantly spins a narrative though, but I’m not sure that could be avoided. I doubt there are many ethnic Russian among the refugees in that city and even if there are it possible he just didn’t meet any. I would be interested to see if in any further coverage if he ever manages to meet a separatist fighter/supporter to possible get a different perspective on the conflict, or even just some Ukrainians who don’t like Zelensky, but I guess the former is unlikely since it’d put him near the frontlines.
Edit: God dammit Andrew was trying to give some benefit of the doubt here but this is pretty undeniably a bad look.
I mean fans who aren’t online probably need some context for wtf people are talking about when they name drop the incident. Cutting to mainstream news is a good way to summarize what’s being talked about.
I agree he could have handled this better but it was better than I expected honestly.

He could go to Russia and interview people there about it without presenting them as brainwashed like this video did.
I mean Ukraine is where the conflict is so it makes sense he’d want to go there, or at least go there first. Also I imagine it’s harder for journalists to get in there right now.

He didn't just interview people though, he interspersed clips of Western media peddling the Bucha propaganda.
Nobody really knows what happened there for sure yet, idk what he was really supposed to cut to when people brought it up.
Just don't cut.
