Did you know that Pravda wasn't some overarching organization, and was in fact just one of many "news" organizations in the USSR? Each represented various factions of the Communist Party, in a constant tug of war for power within their feudal structure. While it was barely perceptible to the outsider, it actually deeply undermined their collectivist narrative within their own groups.
This resulted in the populace rejecting their media entirely, as even people who agreed with them couldn't keep up. ("There is no Truth in Pravda, and no News in Izvestia," as they said in the USSR.)
Thus, the entire Communist Party fractured into a thousand pieces at the first sign of real trouble when their various media organs all started printing whatever insane bullshit that came to mind just trying to retain power. Even the Party faithful grew suspicious and, most importantly, tired.
That exhaustion directly led to the dissolution of the Communist Party, and thus the USSR.
... If you see any correlations to modern American media and the Democrat Party, then you're obviously a conspiracy theorist and probably a bigot.
