Becoming satisfactorily "right" to avoid accusations of left-wing bias means embracing simply made-up stories, as a matter of daily routine. You also have to dial up the culture war stuff and make it far more prominent, not dial it down, while slanting it much farther right-wing. This will usually involve some significant overlap with the "made-up stories" thing. You also don't get to follow reasonable lines for follow up like, "hey, if all that 'fraud' we covered was real and the evidence was as clear and widespread as you said... now that you're in power, where are the investigations? Where are the indictments?" and repeat for a ton of other similar things where accusations fly with confidence when there are no stakes, but as soon as they're asked to put up or shut up, they... well, they don't even shut up, they keep talking about them, they just never do anything because it's all made-up and can't survive contact with reality. You know, the kind of thing a responsible right-wing (or any-wing!) source that was taking them seriously and cared about the alleged problem would do. You mustn't do that.
