But we can fact check rather easily to determine who is lying, but only if we get rid of our biases.
Sadly I now feel the need to fact check absolutely every bloody thing I see to an extreme degree. That is a good indicator how untrustworthy news media sources have become, and gain it's not even facts, the spin has become outrageous. That's not lying its something else. Fox news and even more extreme sources can have facts, but the headline and story is usually clearly trying to spin it in an extreme way.
Here is the thing with Trump, people have been aware for sometime the politicians of the establishment AND the media have been pissing on their leg. That has brought us to this, for good or bad, it has created the Trump era, where people don't care as much about his faults as his willingness to shit back on both of them. He's the bully hired to hit the other bullies, it is what it is now.
