- rntn 5y agoThank you for asking this! In fact, after a couple of long comment threads here with users contesting the veracity / relevance of my "main stream media" choices, I am actually suggesting the exact opposite - that this is a credible source, well positioned to report on the topic of the article, which contains a phenomenon of interest (the increasing standards of the foreign fighter cohort being selected by Ukraine).
