Russian media is still very deep in the Yellow Journalism phase that USA journalism went through 110 years ago, most of it sensational, jingoistic, or both. Doesn't help that all television outlets are state owned and most big newspaper and radio groups. The Russian Blogosphere is where you have to go if you want anything honest, and then the blogosphere is largely tainted to spin everything anti-government, so it's of little use as well
