"Because there's an alternative media ecosystem. When anyone says something false or questionable about Trump, that ecosystem is there to play up the "fake news media bias" to 11. When Trump says false things, that same ecosystem faithfully defends, deflects, or just ignores what he said."
What organizations do you think belong to this "alternative media ecosystem"?

What immediately comes to mind is the stuff I know little about, like the small-time right-wing newsletters stuffing my father's email. I imagine there are many thousands of these. Some have specific axe(s) to grind, Joseph Mercola, Steve Kirsch, Daystar, Anthony Watts or Tony Heller, others are ad-revenue chasers riding the coattails of bigger brands. Second, explicitly political groups like "Catholics for Trump" that I noticed in 2016. Third, the big names like Fox News, Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck, InfoWars, etc. It's not always liberals and conservatives; sometimes it's a related dichotomy like elitists vs real Americans, but they all tend toward black-and-white, us-vs-them, fear-oriented worldviews and mentalities.
