Because the government decides who the state is "aligned with", and the countries that we're aligned with get whitewashed in the press. Stalin was some kind of fancy hero from 1941 to 1945, and immediately after V-J Day, there was an immediate about-face.

I will leave to your imagination why the press always goes along with the official party line. (*Ahem* I don't know why "freedom loving" countries like the US are aligned with Europeans considering this fact, outside of realpolitik *cough*)
