Exactly, "You don't get to call journalists liars simply for debunking Trump's nonsense," lying is part of Trump's schtick, he has been telling them his whole life, if you do it enough people will begin to just accept it, plus, it will get you coverage, and in his world, as long as you are the news regardless of why, the other guy ain't

Because people do not want to watch "boring" news. The media has to sensationalize everything to get viewers who want to have their own views reinforced by the commentators---usually negative stories about the other side.

Well if you corrected it countless times you should know I don't give a damn how it is spelled, everyone including you know what I am saying, so the point it taken
And the "intellectual sloppiness" is comical coming from one who ninety nine percent of the time offers nothing but corny copy and pastes, the other one percent bans anyone who can challenge him

You're right. By spiking stories that don't fit the leftist narrative and employing "fact-checkers" (who are not independently fact-checked by anyone who is a leftist, BTW) to dismiss other points of view, the left controls the media and the information that shapes public discourse. I believe this was done by design, over the course of years.
It goes deeper. Facebook, Google/YouTube, and Twitter all censor what people can see on their platforms.
