War is typically a tense situation so I don't see how this is 'news'

It’s unheard of a Russian military leader to say anything remotely negative about the “Special Operation.” It’s also being said by “General Armageddon.”

The fact that the new leader is admitting any difficulties means the tone of the behind-the-scenes conversations in Russia are changing dramatically.

News is often just reporting the facts, it's not always shock value stuff, especially when it's about wars and the people on the front lines.

I hate how they use headlines of person says”x” as factual news because it is true they said it. It’s lazy. If they want to report news they should verify X and report X. Somebody said something is, usually, not news, it is merely one step in creating news and should not be the last step.

russian media aka russian propaganda has spent a lot of words reassuring the audience at home that everything is going ok so any dash of realism is actually news
