FRom what I've seen, the coverage of Ukreaine has gone down. The news loves
stories about Putin and his crazy antics. My guess is the US press doesn't
have the same level of access they do with US military forces. Iknow some
reports are intentionally delayed and tactical commentary is discouraged in
order to keep the Russians guessing about the Ukraine's next move.
