You mean like the news? As an experiment try this for two months. On month 1 - watch only CNN. On month 2 - watch only Fox. Maybe take a 1 week break between both and write down your thoughts on the world... very interesting how it evolves based on what you watch/listen too... From what I hear if you just watched Russian state media it'd be an even more extreme version. The great thing about our free society is you have the choice to do this experiment, as I understand it you can't do this in Russia today...

Perhaps this is what is actually meant by "television programming"

Or Ukraine or many other countries. Not sure why you singled out Russia specifically.

However, if you are just watching corporate media you're not getting the full picture either. CNN and Fox News have very similar opinions on non-culture war issues.

Russia has lots of people with access to technology and it also has wildly repressive speech laws. That combination makes it great for this example.
