As a person who spent majority of his life in Russia, your comment is the one that makes me crack up, not the parent one. And I can safely say that the same would hold true for most of the people from those countries who were lucky enough to be exposed to all sides of coverage on the issue.

If you think the way western media covers things is biased and dishonest (which it sometimes is, I admit), you have no idea how bad it is over there. It is a completely different degree of delusion that cannot even be called "bending the truth", it is straight up aggressive lying and fear-mongering that can barely even be rivaled by Alex Jones and his InfoWars.

Nobody is claiming that China and Russia have anything close to fair and balanced journalism. The above comment points out the irony that Americans are treating censorship on a Chinese social media app for teenagers as if it's the greatest threat to democracy, while their government bombs a country because they don't like the guy in charge.

Uhm, I lived in Russia for 20 years so I know how biased it is.
