They don't believe he's lying. Even if he said dogs would start shooting lasers out of their butts they'd just nod.

Because at this point pretty much every Trump supporter just supports Trump to bait the liberals.

There's a difference between the President and a 3rd party TV channel. Get off the couch and stop watching the boob tube. The President is held accountable. Cable TV is just spamming you ideas all day so you watch tomorrow, and have trace amount of information about the world. If these people actually cared they'd dislike both.

To be fair to CNN at least they held themselves accountable. How many people lost their jobs for the bs story about the death of that kid linked to the dems that fox news was running long after it was debunked?

No one really expects honesty from politicians.

However, the media does have a responsibility to be somewhat impartial. Or, at the bare minimum, not to fabricate news stories.

Trump said he had the biggest margin of victory since Ronald Reagan, and CNN called him out on it. Trump said there was a terrorist attack in Sweden, and CNN called him out on it. Trump said that the media doesn't report on terrorist attacks, and CNN called him out on it. Who is the bigger liar now?

Aside from Hannity it's Trump's favorite. He would call in almost twice a week or go on the show. So it must be as real as it gets.

One of the major selling points of Trump is that he was "not a politician" and "tells it like it is." There are people who still expect honesty from him. If he is just a politician now, what is his purpose? Why not make Mike Pence president?

Now, your point that the media is rightfully held to a different standard is true. Though I'd note that claims of media impartiality are
1. unfounded
2. not actually required

There is nothing preventing CNN or any other outlet from being an openly partisan organization. There are various reasons why outlets typically don't do this (the general assumption has been that middle-of-the-road views and the appearance of impartiality will garner the most viewers/readers, but this may not actually be the case.)

So, it's OK folks when CNN brainwashes the people and supplies them with false and misleading info!

Then they need to stop masquerading their network as impartial news. They need to come out and say "We are the WWE of news channels. Scripted."

Actually, there's no need for them to do that. They are free to continue doing what they do.
