"""Ramaswamy also wants BuzzFeed to address head-on the issue of public distrust of the media and build a bold, distinctive brand committed to telling the truth. Here, too, Ramaswamy has a good point. But while Americans are understandably fed up with partisan media, is a party politician really the guy to fix the problem? It’s bad when Jen Psaki goes straight from the White House to a cushy gig hosting her own show at MSNBC. It’s also bad when a presidential candidate tries to fix the media ecosystem. A healthier political and media environment would be one in which politicians are politicians and the media is the media. Vivek—which team do you want to be on?

Vivek's team is the political Right, and the Right is the side that believes that lying is bad. The Left, by contrast, holds up sophistry as a sign of merit and virtue, praising the "noble lie", and screeching that "truth is subjective" and "words are power constructs".
So go ahead and pretend that "media vs politician" is the dichotomy that matters, but we've all seen that both media and politicians lie egregiously when they affiliate with the Left.
