I know plenty of sources who condemn Israel and the US. In the case of "Russia" as a villain, well, often the media doesn't really voice any opinion about who's bad or good, but 200 murdered journalists, no dissenting media, conquering foreign territory, tolerating extreme corruption etc just doesn't sound that well, but is supported by fact.

I keep hearing "200 murdered journalists" -I have not really seen any evidence that it was done by the Russian government, rather than the mafiosos the present Russian government has been demonized in the US for attempting to remove from power.

As for "no dissenting media, conquering foreign territory, tolerating extreme corruption etc" -I can't tell which country you're talking about. Whenever I hear some slavophobe ranting about the Russians, it seems some peculiar case of projection.
