Some Americans Need To Be Reminded That The World Does Not Center Around Washington

Daily Mail: ‘They are preoccupied right now with Russians trying to take over their land!’ NBC anchor Chuck Todd is slammed by his own reporter for asking what Ukrainians thought of Biden’s State of the Union speech 

* NBC anchor Chuck Todd asked his colleague, Tom Llamas, who was reporting from Lviv, Ukraine, what residents there thought of Biden's speech last night 

* He said he thought Ukraine's growing refugee crisis was a 'very important missed point by the president' in his national address 

* Todd then asked Llamas: 'What are you seeing in Lviv?' 

* A flabbergasted Llamas replied that people in the city are 'preoccupied' with Russian troops trying to take over their land 

NBC anchor Chuck Todd was slammed by one of his own colleagues on Tuesday night after he asked what Ukrainian locals thought of American President Joe Biden's first State of the Union speech. 

As the network's coverage of the speech continued an hour after Biden gave his final remarks, DC-based Todd said he thought Ukraine's growing refugee crisis was 'a very important missed point by the president' in his national address. 

'It's yet another part of this story that I think a lot of us thought he'd use this time with the American public to speak more about,' Todd said, before turning the coverage over to Tom Llamas, who was reporting from Ukraine, asking: 'What are you seeing in Lviv?'

WNU Editor: A disaster is unfolding right now in Ukraine where everyone is scrambling to survive. The last thing that Ukrainians care about right now is what President Biden said at his State of the Union address. 

This is so symbolic on how screwed-up much of the media coverage has been on the war, and how damaging they have been by shaping wrong perceptions on how the war is faring. And when you point out how skewed or wrong it is you are labeled as a Russian apologist or worse. 

Bottom line. This type of news coverage is doing no good service to Ukraine right now. 

Kudos to NBC reporter Tom Llamas in expressing his frustrations.

Sheeeshhhh .... asking Ukrainians on what do they think about President Biden's SOTUS when the Russian military is shelling the country and gearing up for a major assault on their capital and elsewhere. I am shaking my head. I am willing to bet that most if not all Ukrainians were not even aware that President Biden gave a speech. I only learned about it two hours before he was to give his speech, and that is because I was reminded of it by a reader.
