What is News?

This is not about Ukraine, it is a story about how news is produced, and how that product is consumed by the media:

I saw this report five days ago and didn't repost it here because it wasn't clear what the video footage actually was:

But today, I found this, posted on YouTube by AP 17 hours earlier:

See the AP metadata, which indicates that AP had this available on January 23rd and presumably that is where WION got it from:

Donetsk (rebel-controlled side) - 23 February 2022

5. Various of unmarked military vehicles on road

++JUMP CUTS++

Military vehicles were seen in the streets of rebel-controlled Donetsk, as the standoff between Russia and the West over Ukraine continued.

The vehicles carried no insignia and it wasn't possible to determine how long they had been in the separatist-held territory.

There was no way to confirm whether they belonged to the Russian army, or whether they were the same unmarked military vehicles that have been seen in the streets since Russian-backed rebels took control in 2014.

That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ...

This was in The Guardian: David Turner obituary , only eight days after I posted  David Turner Talking About Sixty Years of Functional Programming History : This talk was given in London in 2017: See  Turner, D. A. "Some History of Functional Programming Languages" also  John Hughes - Why Functional Programming Matters  and David MacQueen's talk at ICFP 2015 in  Numberphile - Sophie Maclean on the Catalan Numbers . At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming. At 26:25 on the ISWIM virtual machine implemented in the PAL compacting garbage collector?! This work Reynolds and others did was at MIT in Masecheusetts and Argonne National Laboratory ...
