    We get plenty of eastern media here in the United States. We have news channels that repeat Russian state media narratives almost word for word.

    "waaa why didnt eastern media make it across"

    Because the world spoke English, not Russian and the other languages of the Eastern Bloc. Now language barriers are imperialist.
