The media consistently uses "incorrectly", "baseless" and other such qualifiers when talking about the fraud allegations which they have NO DAMNED BUSINESS doing as a supposed neutral reporter of news. CNN cut away from one of the president's conferences on the matter, I guess because he was lying too much or something. Even Fox News turned off a feed of his press secretary, if I'm not mistaken.
I think it's perfectly fine for them to add commentary by pundits. If they believe the president to be lying, they have to do their best to give a competing narrative. But they can't be sticking their narrative into the objective part of the story. Trump said this. Election Official XYZ said this was incorrect because of that. That's it. If they claim something is objectively incorrect they'd better have a very solid basis for it.
I don't know if left-of-center people just don't notice it anymore, but anyone right-of-center feels like they're reading Pravda all the time these days.
