I'm an American and can tell you that whatever you think of Trump - the Democrats, MSNBC etc. chose to deal with him by implying, or even saying, that he was a Trojan horse put in by Putin, that the house of representatives was run by "Moscow" Mitch McConnell, that Trump was put in by Moscow fixing the elections etc. With little mention of US/CIA/NED involvement in subverting Russia within Russia, being involved in color revolutions etc. Victoria Neuland and people like her have been doing it almost openly, and she has shown contempt not just for Russia but Western Europe ("Fuck the EU") as well.

So you have upper middle class Europeans, and some upper middle class Europeans living in their media bubble. Other views outside this bubble are heretical and suspicious.

Even YC founder Paul Graham touched on this lightly in his essay about how "submarine" PR articles about men's formal suits make it into the press. Noam Chomsky (who also writes books about the language of Turing machines) covers the corporate media more thoroughly. People who actually talk about what the US is doing like journalist (and former programmer of open source port scanners) Julian Assange are imprisoned.

Also, Kazakhstan has troops coming in from Belarus, Tajikistan, Armenia and Russia. So just mentioning Russia in the headline is already a slant.
