The republicans have espoused a dangerous ideology that not just allows but welcomes factual untruths and a worrying disconnect from rational thought.
There is a need for political parties of various philosophical bents to push and pull in different directions based on reasoned and informed decisions.
Once you give up that core grounding you basically invite fanatism and I don’t see what possible positive outcome we can expect from this.
Of course it isn't enough. That's why the media outlets in question will make up facts, or really slant things to appear to carry sufficient factual weight, and then the reasoning from there comes out to the desired conclusion. Not that there is usually much reasoning going on, it is mostly emotional arguments.

In fact, doing so is probably harmful.
I just wanted to note that the "other side" that I'm not on, also believes basically the same thing with regards to my side.
