No, that's not what media has been doing. And these are the results we get.

This isn't a partisan statement but a simple statement of cause and effect.

Did you not read the post you respond to or are you just engaged in shallow partisan trolling? I can't decide.

If you'd like to ignore my point it's fine. But it's how it is. It's reality.

We now see maybe reporting people blatantly lying can be dangerous to democracy itself. There's no question which side is most manipulative, cynical and lying. It is classic psychopathic behaviour to blame others for own failings with baseless accusations. Fortunately we don't exist to serve the ego of one, and there's no basic right to provide a platform for lying and division.

If we fail to address lies, any side can turn on its own population without those checks and balances. It is never enough to tolerate abuse and lies, as humanity witnessed before.

If this was your point to, explaining in your own words may help.
