> If you really think the right-wing republican community is the only group spreading distortions/falsehoods

First of all, you mis-read my comment. At no point did I claim the political right had a monopoly on disseminating misinformation.

Secondly, even though this (and just about everything else) can be spun as a case of "both sides do it / both sides are bad / all sides are bad / etc", there is an obvious difference of scale & magnitude - and scale matters. In modern political American discourse it's clear who more consistently disseminates misinformation, and - as this piece indicates - who is more effective at doing so.
