I kind of see what he's saying though. Different news outlet choose to put more or less (or even no) emphasis on different news stories. Golfing and security expenses are stories on CNN but not Fox. Fox covers the cheering crowd in Florida, others focus on the size of the crowd. Is one over-reporting or one under-reporting?
Leaving aside incorrect or misleading information, which I do think comes more often from the right, the choice of which facts to present and emphasize does follow a left right split. Facts are not left or right but can be used to support either viewpoint.
Having said that Trump is a very easy target for anyone not on the right, the news writes itself.
