Indeed...
And it's not like acknowledging all facts means Russia suddenly becomes pure and good, it just means acknowledging the messy, gritty details.
But still there is a tendency to not acknowledge any details or technicalities which would seem beneficial to "the other side's" perspective.
...While of course claiming whatever tangential fact beneficial to their own side conclusively resolves the issue completely.
I even read a US article denouncing Russia's winning of a UN Law of Sea Court ruling on EEZ as some evidence of Russian aggression,
despite Russia following all the rules, and not imposing any exclusivity until the court itself ruled that it was their EEZ. (Okhotsk pocket)
Likewise, I read so much hystericism suggesting Russia had some imminent conflict with Norway,
until lo and behold, both sides negotiated a resolution defining a previously undefined border in the Arctic EEZ.
Up until then, it was portrayed as all Russia's fault for having a conflicting claim, as if any grey area by default should be ruled against Russia.
Obviously no self-respecting country would accept a norm that says any gray area is automatically ruled against them with prejudice,
yet essentially such a standard is routinely promulgated in mainstream Western media, without any reflection.
Although the US and EU seem happy to ignore even clear court rulings in plenty of other cases where it is convenient to them,
e.g. Eritrea winning arbitration on border with Ethiopia, Ethiopia ignoring the ruling completely, and continuing their war vs. Eritrea,
yet Ethiopia is majorly backed by Western powers because it is more useful/important to them than Eritrea
(which regretably descended into a crazy military dictatorship while facing war vs. much larger Ethiopia, itself having undemocratic government)
Or of course the US ignoring of the ruling against it for sponsoring terrorism in Nicaragua, sabotaging ports, etc.
