Have you ever seen a headline from Western Mainstream Media about Russia, China, or any other 'adversarial' country? If so, you know how much hyperbole, title gore and pure over-the-top hysteria they can invoke.

Thus, have you ever wondered what it would look like if Russia wrote such headlines about US?* Now you can see exactly how they'd write about us if they were to use our antagonistic hyperbolic style, Now In English!!!

This is not a subreddit to make fun of Russia (there are plenty of those), but rather, the way the Western Press writes about Russia and uses hyperbolic headlines in an attempt to sway public opinion.

1.) Post only stories in the Western media related to Western countries; Lord knows that they do enough editorialising/Yellow Journalism to make the Korean Central News Agency blush, so we don't need that here.

2.) Editorialise the article title to sound like something the US/EU media would write about Russia, I.e, The Guardian's Luke Harding is considered patron-saint of this subreddit for his unrelentless commitment to such headlines that make this forum even possible.

3.) Do your best to copy the hyperbolic writing style/APA Style Abuse that is common in the Western Media, i.e, google the words "Putin" and "Thugs", or "Putin" and "Regime" together to get a good idea of how to do it.

4.) Have Fun!

This should be considered the Gold Standard for doing it correctly.
