refuse to hold the source of those lies less culpable than the MSM? Why DO THEY NOT HOLD THE SOURCE OF THE LIES RESPONSIBLE?

I cannot identify how much of the MSM was aware of the lack of veracity of what they were reporting. You say they "willfully repeated the lies"... Maybe so. But can we determine who and when (and to what degree) with assuredness were willfully lying and not merely mislead? Always easy to blame the MSM, but damn we are at risk of losing them entirely thanks to our current lazy society which is only willing to regurgitate the lies fed to them on Social media and RW sources. Heaven forbid they spend their $$$ on the few remaining newspapers or other legacy media sources with global reach in this country. When it is all gone, so too is any possibility of the truth breaking through
