I suspect Russian media bias is not so fundamentally different from American media bias. The two complement each other neatly I think; reading both side by side is enlightening. Al Jazeera is another good one to throw into the mix (and their international reporting of "non-partisan" things is superb).

With the subtle difference that Russian journalists who get too out of line get murdered.

Obviously the realities of life as a reporter are dramatically different, but the result, the resulting biases, share parallels, even if not in magnitude or severity. The topics that each adore or ignore are roughly mirrors of each other, with the exception of a handful of topics.

There are journalists in the US who back the "Russian" or "anti-US" point of view. Maybe they're not mainstream, but they're free to voice their opinions.

BTW, this article reeks of off-topic to me.
