This is true for us all...
(out of contexting etc etc also helps)

So which version of just such a movie is 'Now Showing!" in your country..!?
(and worldwide)

Because the 'Joe Public' Russians I have met are generally good friendly people who will share and help as they know what having little is like.
These are the same people that were/are? shot as deserters if they turned around in battle.
So... "commies" means who exactly?
Everyone in Russia?
Or a 'painted picture'?
Or certain individuals?

I find putting a broader extra thought or 2 into thoughts seeded by 'The Narrative' is ... illuminating...

That said:
How long is 'The News' if every gasoline car that catches fire is put on the news?
Similarly;
Vaping is or was... all over the news, killing people.
How long will "The News' be if they give as much time to every cigarette smoker who died today as a result.

You wont, but putting a thought or 2 into "who really owns CNN, CBS, Fox, etc-etc is an interesting dead end of shell companies etc.
There's no better way of spreading 'your version of the truth' than finding someone who truly believes the script handed to him and putting him in font of a 'news' camera in a suit.
Or just paying someone that has all that all set up already.
That's easy. After 10 years there would be zero minutes of me being the good guy.
People who are commies are the ones working to spread the cancer known as communism. People who support, spread commie propagandaand those who rally support for the cause. Poland, Taiwan and people who made it to the united states from Russia, cuba, Vietnam are some of the most hard core anit-communits out there.
Just because someone is Russia or Chinese doesn't automatically mean they're communist.

Scott Adams summarizes the 'good' and the 'bad' portrayals as the Documentary Effect. He uses Michael Jackson documentaries as his example where he believed MJ was a monstrous pedo after seeing one documentary, and then believing MJ was kindhearted and good after watching a different documentary. Our emotions are exploited with the music choice, the framing of the shots, what images they linger on, which they don't... you'll just end up believing whatever was the last thing you saw.

Why do you put USofA and Cuba in the same bucket?
