That's an interesting and arguable point, but not relevant to what I said. Do you disagree with my statement above?

"Every politician should be fact checked as much as possible, and we ought to be able to admit it when they are intentionally misleading people. We should not let our partisanship get in the way of the truth." Agree or disagree?

I completely agree, but the FACT of the matter is that it's selectively applied. Journalism is critical for democracy. Unfortunately the self-imposed standards of the press in the U.S. have turned it from a fourth estate into a fifth column. They've undermined their own credibility by leveraging idealism over infallibility. Standing on your soapbox while making noble proclamations about the truth is only aping the censor when applied inequitably.
