All is well on the left wing propaganda front:
Fake News: ABC, NBC, CBS All Face-Plant on Bogus Anti-Trump Administration Stories in the Span of a Few Days

(1) ABC's Jimmy Kimmel, a committed Democratic operative who sometimes does comedy, aired doctored video of Vice President Mike Pence. The clip purported to show Pence pretending to carry personal protective equipment (PPE) into a medical facility, prompting Kimmel to snark, "Mike Pence pretending to carry empty boxes of PPEs into a hospital is a perfect metaphor for who he is and what he's doing — a big box of nothing delivering another box of nothing." The clip went viral, racking up millions of views, with numerous 'blue checkmarks' on social media eagerly sharing it. But it was a lie, and Kimmel was forced to acknowledge it and apologize, albeit conspicuously unapologetically:
2) NBC's Chuck Todd framed an entire "Meet the Press" discussion around an incomplete and context-free clip of Attorney General Bill Barr discussing the Justice Department's decision to drop Michael Flynn's prosecution. Todd played the abbreviated clip, calling Barr's response 'cynical' and asserting that Barr didn't seek to justify the department's decision as upholding the rule of law. Barr's full answer, which didn't make CBS' pressed-for-time televised news package -- but was made available online -- specifically spoke to the rule of law. Watch the juxtaposition, back to back:
(3) CBS' Scott Pelley, in the span of a few seconds, made a claim on "60 Minutes" that reflects Chinese propaganda, and unfairly smeared Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as a conspiracy theorist:
(4) Not to be left out, here's a dishonorable mention for CNN. This point isn't a lie; it's just extraordinary lack of self-awareness regarding coverage of the Russia story. When the facts no longer fit the preferred script, suddenly we shouldn't be talking about the issue so much, it seems. From Russia, Russia, Russia, to don't we have more important things to cover? Amazing:
The rest here:
