If the media were simply repeatedly mistaken, with no bias or intent to deceive, their errors would tend to happen in both directions. The Federalist cited quite a few falsehoods that favored the left. Perhaps you could cite some that favored the right? Edit: Excluding the few right-wing media outlets, because it's quite obvious to everyone that The Federalist wasn't talking about them here.

Here's Fox News photoshopping coverage about CHAZ, they have had to issue an apology over it https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/fox-news-runs-digitally-altered-images-in-coverage-of-seattles-protests-capitol-hill-autonomous-zone/ https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/fox-news-... Someone had to open the images in photoshop, alter them, and then upload them to a website. This isn't a simple lie of omission or a mistake, this is manufactured content to push a right-wing narrative. Fox News consistently pushed the right-wing line that Coronavirus is a hoax until they were threatened with a lawsuit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifKbwDf51bA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifKbwDf51bA While they were publicly telling their viewers that the virus was a hoax, internally they were implementing remote work and disease control. Here's a giant list of the ways they've supported conservative political goals while actively working against the left, with citations and source material in the footnotes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_News_controversies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_News_controversies

  Alright, so Fox is lying in favor of the right. That isn't evidence against The Federalist's contention that the rest of the media is lying in favor of the left.

    You asked for instances of the media lying for the right, I provided instances of the media lying for the right. Unless you want to place the largest news organization in terms of viewership outside of the media for some reason.
