The so-called news media allows Democrats to create myths about themselves. Did the same thing with Commodore Kerry, the Hero of Vietnam.
With Republicans, however, it digs in trashcans looking for dirt.
The only answer is to boycott the media in the original meaning of the word “boycott”. That is, to shun them completely.
Shun their advertisers. Shun the corporations they own or are owned by (Disney owns ABC).
Defund the Left.
