Where did I say "lie"?
Being dishonest is not the same as being a liar. In this context, dishonest refers to intellectual dishonesty as in what you are engaining in when trying to say I called anyone a liar.

In reality, the liberal media myth is an example of a lie told often enough that people believe it without even questioning it.

Which I would have chalked up to a figure of speech, an analogy that it's similar to a lie that is told often enough that it is eventually believed, except you identified the origin of the idea of a liberal media as a Republican strategy. Which would make it a literal and willful lie. And you can't have a lie without a liar, after all. So everyone who claims that the media is on balance pro-Democrat is either a liar or a dupe.

Aha, I would go into more detail here, but from what I've seen of your posts before I am pretty sure you're smart enough to already know how shaky this line of reasoning is so I'll just leave it at that.
