The proportion of propaganda differs, as does the quality and motivation. The resulting differences in diversity of journalism definitely affects the ability to triangulate. While the result from triangulation doesn't have to be accurate to be effective, if triangulation is impossible, journalism is indistinguishable from propaganda and results in a programmed society.

Younger Russians much less so, and that's because younger Russians user mobile devices and VPN to obtain alternative journalism sources compared to older generations.
