You are very wrong. Each country in EU has its own news agencies and many of them have reporters all over the world, even in conflict zones. It is simply not possible to push narratives through such an amount of channels, like they do in the US. Of course some news gets parotted, that's how news works, but a Slovenian reporter, reporting from Ukraine doesn't care what NYT said about anything.
I don't know, I read European news sites first and there really is less debt to them than other sources. Or it's just a few paragraphs without the background or history etc... I have to admit, the last few years some have mitigated this by doing more research, filing it under 'dossiers' and I really like their fact checking. But maybe you're right and they can't put everything out there.
