Moscow Times Media Bias

---

July 08, 2023 (?): The news narratives reported primarily focus on events unfolding in and around Russia, covering a fair amount of misfortune and political conflict occurring within its borders and concerning its international relations (^{[Moscow Times], [Moscow Times], [Moscow Times], [Moscow Times], [Moscow Times], [Moscow Times], [Moscow Times], [Moscow Times]}).

Instances of violence, uprisings, and damages blamed mostly on Russia can be observed (^{[Moscow Times], [Moscow Times], [Moscow Times], [Moscow Times], [Moscow Times], [Moscow Times], [Moscow Times], [Moscow Times], [Moscow Times], [Moscow Times]}).

The coverage seems to depict Russia under a negative light.
