I have to agree with every bit of this.

For the first few weeks of the war in Ukraine, the US "mainstream" media 
covered it almost 24x7.  Seriously.  Even now the time spent on it every 
day is measured in hours.  Really can't see how anyone would expect more 
than that.  Especially now that there really doesn't seem to be much new  
happening day-to-day.  Looks like Russia's next Afghanistan to me.
