Because press is getting banned it's a warzone in active curfews. How much activity have they got. Are they on the ground in live fire, perhaps they are in secure zones, or are they simply reacting uplinks from local sources?

Press has become a narrative, it operates on which policy for what agenda. Dubious when shown to be bias. But it will be because of its narratives, although undoubtedly it contains facts, after shifting through any propaganda. Optics are often in the eye of the beholder. You see and hear what you want prompting your reactions and viewing.
