Of course not.

But in Russia in last 10 years media landscape lost pretty large amount of ideological diversity. In past you could find different sources from wide range of opinions, from strong pro-/anti-government to neutral and such (although everyone are biased, but bias differs). Now we have no such variety in news sources, they almost all pro-government (some slightly less than others, but not much). They even mostly bundled together in few related media conglomerates.

On other side, "opposition" media mostly died, those who remain also became more biased and lost their quality. Like that Meduza that started relatively well as independent clone of died lenta.ru, but now becomes huffpost/buzzfeed clone with trending articles about "Russian" "rap", feminism and other silly shit.
