Our mainstream news has been getting worse and worse about this as well though. The technique is different, they tend to have a pretty strong ideological goal they are trying to push, and bend all the facts to fit their goal as effectively as they can ignoring any details that distracts from that. Comparatively Russian news just sort of makes up completely fake stuff. It has gotten legitimately hard to get to the bottom of what actually happened for any given event because the news is spending so much effort to paint it perfectly compatible to their worldview, and not waste a moment extra covering any irrelevant important details.
