acting like Daddy Vladdy’s media is somehow better than Western media

I've mentioned in a previous comment that both Russian and US media can be seen as propaganda. I value them equally and believe they hold similar importance. It's essential for people to consider various perspectives before forming conclusions. I label US media as propaganda because it's predominantly consumed, but the same applies to media from any other country.
