It is a false equivalency to compare the liberal bias of certain outlets with a "journalist" conspiring with a Russia-assisted dirty tricks operation favoring Trump, an aspiring authoritarian and Putin BFF. Leave it to you to be unable to discern the difference.

No, I think it's you who have lost the ability to discern. You're more likely to criticize harshly points of view you don't happen to subscribe to, dismissing those points of view as "lies" and holding your own word view up as unassailable fact. The world doesn't work that way.
Here's an
EXCELLENT piece from a former NY Times editorial page editor. He was asked for his resignation because he dared publish an op-ed piece by a Republican Senator whose opinion on how to deal with some of the civil unrest during the summer of 2020 ruffled some "liberal" feathers in his own organization.
Note that I call this an EXCELLENT piece even though the author holds views the probably don't agree with my own. He does nail what has happened to the product of the NY Times, and his observations also apply to other noteworthy publications: a culture of intolerance. As the author states:
The Times’s problem has metastasized from liberal bias to illiberal bias, from an inclination to favour one side of the national debate to an impulse to shut debate down altogether.
You suggested in an earlier post that I need to do some soul-searching. I suggest you follow your own advice after reading this.
