I'd also like to point out it's not only that the media "has internalized the right-wing lie that our media is “liberal”", but that the torrent of vitriol and threats from far right activists towards journalists for publishing a story they don't like is more than chilling, it is freezing.

"She also created a pretzel of lies in by giving Trump..."
Lead with millions of dollars of established science on the placebo effect, especially:

Up to 50% of depressed people are cured by placebo
