Yes, exactly.

I always tell many around me that if the lying media is praising you (Zelensky in Ukraine, any D politician, Hollywood people), then it's someone you can't trust and that person is suspect.

When they attack you (POTUS Trump, conservatives, Kari Lake), then it's someone we need to listen to and support because the lying media wants to denigrate these people in order to demean them and push many into not liking or supporting them.

It's very blatant these days and not hard to determine on what side someone stands.
