You know how YouTubers game the algorithm? Journalists at the same outlet do the same. "Ukraine" gets more clicks, more clicks = better KPIs for raises.

Ukraine is Israel. If you make the mistake of watching live CNN, their treatment of Ukraine is identical to Israel, with the words “Israel” and “Palestine” just changed to “Ukraine” and “Russia.” Ukraine, like Israel, is also always responding to attacks and never provoking them.

Lol it's enturely in the realm of possibility titles are auto-generated based on what gets the most clicks.

Russia made the bus crash

Ukrainians are like dogs now, liberals feeling impotently sad about their deaths specifically generates traffic.

Dunno. Maybe their script pulled a variation of the press release intended for Ukraine or Cananda or something?

Like I can understand if an American outlet mentioned American citizens dying abroad but this is weird.

Not to jump in the trenches for AP but it's the same practice just applied to "group of people that are generally cared about atm" internationally

Ukraine is our muse.

At least they weren't called deserters

It is a waste. They are supposed to die feeding our empire not whatever this was.
