Newspapers and other news outlets tend to publish the same pejorative stories about Putin at the same time. That indicates a centrally manipulating source. Some of the news coverage can be put down to "lazy journalism" or herd mentality, where some outlets just regurgitate what they deem to be "in the news" carried by others.
How to deal with your right-wing relatives during the holidays.

The Fed pricked the financial bubblethis week as expected. Janet Yellen’s press conference couldn’t have been more perfect for our investment thesis at my new research publication, Stockman’s Bubble Finance Trader. It confirmed that the money printers have come to a stark dead end.
Successful investors live by a golden rule: what the mainstream financial media talks about is not important. They focus on what they don't hear instead. So forget about Yellen for a second. Let go of Draghi, oil, the South African rand and Syria. That's all in the now. But investing is about the future.
