This kind of equivocation is exactly why we're in this mess to begin with. Yeah, the mainstream networks are not perfect. But they're not in the same league as Brietbart, which in turn is not in the same league as a chain-facebook post stating that the Pope had endorsed Trump.

Words do matter, and they do have a bearing on the real world. Every news story out there is falsifiable (or identifiable as an opinion piece.) For every news source, you can tally a scorecard of how accurate they are.

You can't just equivocate truth away by arguing about who is a clown and who isn't.
