Bingo! Hit it out of the park!
One small correction.
This is not a phenomena of the Trump era.
The Media have been lying to us and misleading us for decades.
It has only become in your face, glaringly obvious to everyone, during the Trump era.
The same people who write the stories do the 'fact checking'... they might be in a different part of the building, but they're the same people... chosen from the same pool of 'liberal journalists who hate Trump'...
