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.

One of the easiest ways to measure the level of B.S. from a media outlet is their willingness to do the same story on both sides of the political spectrum. That's why even though I'm pretty liberal I hate MSNBC just as much as Fox News. They both only look at the bad of the other political party.
