Lying is lying, whether it's "political" or "Trump level" it is still lying.
Something else to keep in mind, the media bias against Trump is indeed real. The level of negative coverage and focus on things about him vs the good things he's done is astounding. Prior to the coronavirus for example you rarely if ever heard anything mentioned about the economy. If you did it was a brief mention and then onto something like impeachment, Kavanaugh, etc. Here's some samples.
"For its report, the Media Research Center did a lot of visual spadework. It viewed some 1,007 evening news stories about the Trump White House on ABC, CBS and NBC from June 1 to Sept. 30. That's the equivalent of about 32.7 hours of coverage, by TV standards an eternity of news time.
What they found was, as Trump himself might say, sad: "Over the summer, the broadcast networks have continued to pound Donald Trump and his team with the most hostile coverage of a president in TV news history —
92% negative, vs. just 8% positive." Over the four months the MRC watched network TV for all of us, less than 1% of the coverage was on the economy. To be more precise, it was 0.7% of the entire coverage, or 14 minutes."

"In the first 100 days since House Democrats began their impeachment push on September 24, ABC, CBS and NBC have aggressively aided the effort. A Media Research Center analysis finds the Big Three evening newscasts have battered the President with 93% negative coverage and promoted impeachment at the expense of nearly all other Trump news."

"The Pew Research Center, in
a content analysis of the early days of the Trump presidency, found that 62 percent of the coverage was negative and
only 5 percent was positive. In contrast, President
Barack Obama's coverage in early 2009 was 42 percent positive and 20 percent negative, the study said. Among recent presidents, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush had higher negative than positive coverage early in their administrations, but not nearly to Trump's degree. Clinton had 28 percent negative coverage and 27 percent positive in 1993, while Bush had 28 percent negative and 22 percent positive in 2001."
