What reputable news organizations like the GUARDIAN, NYT and the WP have in common is VERIFICATION.

What Murdoch and Consevative rags do is engage in DEVERIFICATION, in other words taking verified settled facts and attacking it to induce doubt and suspicion. Remember 'alternative facts'?

On a personal level I know a usual suspect who employs deverification to call into question that I am a reasonable person in hopes to discredit certain facts.
Deverification is a specific kind of lie.
