If it were ignorance, the errors would be balanced. The lies are ALWAYS against the conservative side, so statistically there is no chance these are ignorant errors.

Ignorance is also shaped by ideology. Right-wingers are ignorant in right-wing ways. Left-wingers are ignorant in a left-wing manner. Reporters are far left in orientation, at least in my experience of college journalists back in the day. So their ignorance will tend to slant far left, i.e. they will assume facts that turn out to be erroneous.
