    Does anyone know how trustworthy/genuine they are. It would be nice to have true independent reporting on what is happening in Ukraine, but sometimes I have the feeling they are just partisans from the other side. Especially there support for trump kinda turns me off. I get it, Biden sucks, but Trump is not gonna make anything better. Plus I have the feeling one of them is online gambling without muting the sound effects, especially during the recent recordings. Still better than the NYT though.

      I’ve been following them for a while, and I do find their analysis is generally sober. In particular, they do a fairly decent job predicting trends and actually being correct. They do have a right wing bias you have to account for, but I still find that they tend to be factual and have useful insights. I just disagree with their framing and opinions on what’s desirable a lot of the time.
