This is why many Eastern Europeans do not trust the media. A lot of immigrants from the soviet bloc are very confused at how much Americans trust their media/govt.
I know it is not just Eastern Europeans but there is something to be said about the level of distrust for the media after having lived through the USSR.
a lot of people in the west think Russian propaganda is very effective. It is loud, and it is constant, but it is not as effective as perceived. if you speak to the average Russian, you’ll find that this distrust of the state is now deeply embedded in the culture.
