What do you call someone who tells a warring nation targeting information for the purpose of killing or otherwise destroying an enemy force or structure? A combatant.
I think someone important just realized that claiming we’re helping Ukraine kill Russians means we just entered the war. So here comes the damage control. https://twitter.com/NewsHour/status/1522591770021933057[](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/u-s-provided-ukraine-with-intel-on-russian-warship-before-sinking-official-says)
So much of the problem too is the editors, not the actual journalists. When news on Bucha broke mainstream, many articles reported that there was no conclusive evidence on who was responsible for the massacres. But people don’t read articles. They read headlines. And the editor is responsible for the headline. When the article says one thing but the headline says “Mass Grave discovered after Russian Troops Leave” then the damage is already done.
