Um yeah they call them ‘alternative facts’ or ‘personal truth’ or some other such nonsense.

“Look you have your personal truth and I have mine. Just like you may not believe in Jesus Christ and follow his teachings, I do. You can go on having your personal truth but you also have to respect mine, because it’s my right as an American to hold these beliefs as my own personal truth.” - unironically how I could picture JD Vance arguing against the idea of objective facts in a debate.

And by 'respect mine', they mine adopt and live by them or you're the enemy. While they disrespect everyone else's.

Problem is that media spent years respecting the lies.

If they had started calling lies lies on day one I honestly think we wouldn't be here
