Sheryl Attkisson a substitute anchor for the CBS Evening News after 21 years with the network resigned in 3/10/14 wrote the following truly definitive and KNOWLEDGEABLE example of the MSM continuing messing up of the truth!
Read her 50 top MSM screw ups in their totally biased "reporting" specifically about President Trump.
Here is one I think is so exemplary of how hasty to put out negative news about Trump:
The New York Times and other media widely suggested or implied that Trump had not paid income taxes for 18 years.
Later, tax return pages leaked to MSNBC ultimately showed that Trump actually paid a higher rate than Democrats Bernie Sanders and President Obama.
Another example:
CNN claimed Nancy Sinatra was “not happy” at her father’s song being used at Trump’s inauguration. Sinatra responded, “That’s not true. I never said that. Why do you lie, CNN?…Actually I’m wishing him the best.”
Or this one:
Zeke Miller of TIME reported that President Trump had removed the bust statue of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. from the Oval Office. The news went viral. It was false.
The New York Times’ Michael S. Schmidt, Mark Mazzetti and Matt Apuzzo reported about supposed contacts between Trump campaign staff and “senior Russian intelligence officials.” Comey later testified “In the main, [the article] was not true.”
CNN’s Gloria Borger, Eric Lichtblau, Jake Tapper and Brian Rokus; and ABC’s Justin Fishel and Jonathan Karl reported that Comey was going to refute Donald Trump’s claim that Comey told Trump three times he was not under investigation. Instead, Comey did the opposite and confirmed Trump’s claim.
CNN’s Thomas Frank reported that Congress was investigating a “Russian investment fund with ties to Trump officials.” The report was later retracted. Frank and two other CNN employees resigned in the fallout.

Now none of the above will change those idiots that belong to the shrinking number of people that have confidence in the MSM, but what it will do is provide the FACTS that Ms. Attkisson shows that the MSM has really biased their output over the past few years and NOW even more so with President Trump!
