Question Is Russia being unfairly portrayed in western media ?

Or do you think how Russia is portrayed in western media is a fair and accurate portrayal of Russia ?

I think it depends on the reporting agency's viewpoint to a large extent.
In general though more than likely the news is biased to be pro-Western. Unfortunately there are very few if any unbiased news sources, at least I haven't found any so far.

I am sure Palo will find this thread and set us all straight.

Yeah I do think it's unfair, the whole truths aren't being told by the media IMO, I think the media is too kind that makes it unfair to the truth

The coverage is rather radical from all sides instead of accurate. I've heard everything from they've taken over the white house to Putin is beloved by his people.

They're rarely accurate. But for their own corrupt reasons -- it has to do with power and money -- US and closely allied governments have an agenda to make Russia look like the devil. They often succeed, because they have supine media, and above all, gullible citizens who know little about Russia except the garbage their governments & media feed them. Unfortunately, At least one of my colleagues is a victim of this, and he's 100% sure his opinion is right, when in fact it's 100% wrong

The Soviet government told us the same about the West

I believed it, until I discovered the West is only about 90% as bad as they told us

I've flown across Russia to and from the Far East ten times and it looked horrible every fucking time.

International flights are generally around 10.000 meters altitude. What could you possibly see from there?

Did you do loopings, so you got a double-take?

All I see when I fly over Russia is uninhabited area in most places. West-Russia is different, of course, but most of Russia is in Asia

The last time I flew over Siberia was at night, and I was surprised how many lights there were. But Mongolia had no light at all when I was looking

Well, we know you're a speculator because you love betting. But all you know is what your garbage media tells you

It is much easier these days to get an informed opinion. Why not get some?
