What do you mean by "political failures"? All polls show him as the most popular Mexican president of the last decades, even facing strong opposition from the 1% and the mainstream media. I am sure he is not perfect and has made mistakes, but much less than the others.

I was looking exactly for the same thing, and found this wonderful script:

I put it in a custom keyboard shortcut, so I just press it, draw an onscreen rectangle around any non-selectable text, and in a few seconds it goes to the clipboard.

I believe Russian media does exaggerate about US problems. But just as well, I also believe US media exaggerates about Russian problems too.

Paraphrasing your post, I could also say US mainstream media is indirectly state-controlled, and independent journalists are fired or discredited for speaking out against the current regime.

I really hope we all could move ahead of this Cold-War mentality, that puts the whole world in danger of a nuclear holocaust.

I think it's excellent that they're restricting the Iranian leader's tweet where he says that Rushdie's death sentence still stands. I think it is equally wrong not to restrict Trump's tweets where he threatens to destroy countries like Iran or North Korea, which is obviously the threat of a terrorist act, involving the murder of millions of innocent civilians. That being the case, it seems clear to me that Twitter is not impartial.
