Russia is very much in support of a multi-polar world and so of course they're going to actively report on activities that paint our global hegemony in a negative light. But at the same time much of the 'western' world's media tends to be vehemently in favor of said hegemony, and consequently tend to actively report on activities that paint the 'outsiders' in a negative light. But let's consider the yellow vest protests, in terms of scale and consequence, for just one moment. At their peak they attracted hundreds of thousands of people and have resulted in thousands of injuries largely at the hands of police violence. There have been numerous blindings due to police intentionally firing 'nonlethal' weapons at protesters' faces. Others have been mutilated or lost limbs due to police using tear gas canisters that are occasionally laced with explosives to deter protesters from simply throwing them back at police. This [1] interview from the Guardian shows what said 'tear gas' can do. There have also been numerous deaths. Most have been tangential (vehicular related) but one was quite dystopic. An 80 year old woman who was killed after being hit by a police gas canister. She was not involved in the protests. She was killed while at her window after being struck by a tear gas canister. [2] Biases in what is reported on by either ideologies media does not mean what is being reported on is fake, nor does it mean that what either group chooses not to report on is not relevant. If something of an identical scale to the Yellow Vest protests was happening in mainland China, with comparable consequences, it would be being reported on 24/7 by the 'western' media as an example of China engaging in systemic violence against people just seeking 'freedom'. And that is simply if it was of the same size. Now imagine you scale up something to proportional size based on population. China has ~ 21x as many people as France. Such a protest there would involve millions of protesters, tens of thousands of injuries, and hundreds of deaths. Same proportions and consequences, but it now sounds so different doesn't it?
