I personally think that Russia should be criticized and isolated as a result of its actions. I don't have a problem with that at all. I just hope that the next country to start a war gets the same treatment.

I agree with you. However, I do think that our(western) media is also biased. The different articles and newspapers have different views depending on the local politics. That's why the same facts can be presented in various ways, to fit the narrative that best suits its publication. We definitely have it better than Russia, but the media is still influenced by our leaders/politicians/whomever is in power.
