But we've had media lying before, media lying about objectively important issues of life and death (far more important than allegations of Trump campaign colluding with Russians) such as headline NYT articles alleging justification for invading Iraq (the greatest crime of its century), and yet the discussants here and in corporate media want us to take this seriously.

One has always had to be careful reading the media. Only those who don't understand history take refuge in feeling sorry for themselves about lying media.
