For just one, single, short moment, CBS News acted like a real news outlet and reported the truth about the amount of U.S. aid actually making it to the Ukrainian front lines. Our guess is someone important from the Biden administration gave them a jingly … so they stopped telling the truth.
Then they tried to cover their path with some nonsense about not having the full story and updating the documentary to air at a later date.
Shame on them.
And they wonder why so few people trust the media.
We removed a tweet promoting our recent doc, "Arming Ukraine," which quoted the founder of the nonprofit Blue-Yellow, Jonas Ohman's assessment in late April that only around 30% of aid was reaching the front lines in Ukraine. pic.twitter.com/EgA96BrD9O

CBS should just admit they are state-sponsored media at this point.
Embarrassing.
Since that time, Ohman says delivery has improved. Additionally, the U.S. military has confirmed that defense attaché Brigadier General Garrick M. Harmon arrived in Kyiv in August for arms control and monitoring. https://t.co/gltKtScjuB

Strange that they wouldn’t have done some sort of due diligence before releasing a documentary of all things.
Almost as if they are doing a whole lot of CYA here.
For the Biden administration.
We are updating our documentary to reflect this new information and air at a later date.

Where is that other 70% going? Did ‘The Big Guy’ get his 10%?
Meanwhile, Democrats are raising taxes on anyone making $30K or more and looking to hire 87,000 new IRS agents.
Wheee.
Huh?? Ok propagandists

You know, just don’t tell the truth.
No one will care.
Please include how much Zelensky is skimming off the top. I'm guessing he'll be a billionaire after all this is through

Being truthful didn't last long did it

Nope.
Not a bit.
Lying and covering for a corrupt government is far easier.
