The same media that just days before were busy firing up an online mob to harass a 16 year old child who had the audacity to wear a MAGA hat.
Why would anybody be 'anti-media' one wonders?

Obviously, in the era of internet journalism it's important to get stories out as fast as possible, but (it seems to me) the incentive for getting out stories quickly that are likely to trigger outrage is pretty high.
This particular example is rather salient because it is recent,the evidence of false reporting is fairly clear, and because the cost to the victims of this journalistic malfeasance is fairly high.
That's why I drew that comparison. But yes there's possibly better examples.
> a MAGA hat [used to] implicitly express, a vicious hatred of liberals
Come on. It's a campaign item that represents support for a President that 45% of the country voted for. If you see it as a hate symbol you're projecting your own meaning on to it.
