  14. I have such admiration and gratitude to Channel 4’s journalists, who (let’s face it) have easily surpassed the BBC: a thing I genuinely did not expect to see in my lifetime. It’s not just that these journalists are clearly well educated, able to put this news into context for us, give an informed perspective and use that educated perspective to inform how they focus the aspects of this news that are important to pass on to us, the general public. It’s their gallantry in the face of danger. Being shot at by a sniper would be enough for most sensible people to leave the country for good. But such thinking does not even occur to a person like Lindsay. All it seems to have done is legitimise her coverage and focus her attention on the plight of those who, “don’t get to go back to their hotel and have a drink.” Her empathy and courage genuinely moves me. But, set ALL OF THAT aside and just ask yourself, which of the main British channels can you turn to for in depth, on site, up to date INFORMATION out of Ukraine and analysis of events? It used to be The BBC, no question. On this particular story, Ukraine’s war, that is not the case any longer. Channel 4 is just better, more comprehensive, more detailed, more up to date, etc, etc. I so hope that she and Channel 4 get some recognition amongst their piers for this coverage. They deserve accolades. It’s THE single most important issue in the world right now; from the reason we’re all paying more for fuel and heating, and facing a recession, to international politics and trade, to the fact that the world is dealing with the biggest threat to democracy in its history, certainly since WWII. The answers to all your big political questions are being determined on the battlefields of Ukraine. Anyone who thinks that’s misinformed has not been paying attention.
