Trump is often over the top, but to be sure, the American press is disgraceful. They're overwhelmingly liberal/leftist and incapable of noticing their hypocrisy and dissembling.
Their worst sin is not out and out lying, but putting out the half truth. They'll print or broadcast stories with a kernel of truth, but fail to tell the whole story.
So, many people will only get the partial truth, and never get all the details.
It's like whenever a Republican president or congress pass some piece of legislation that benefits 99% of the population, the media will find the 1% it didn't do anything for and make it seem like they're the majority.
