That's all they ever meant by it. They could never challenge the
veracity or authenticity of evidence Lee or Holman or any other
opponent put forward to support their claims; they just didn't *like*
the evidence because it offended their ideological convictions. And
that, of course, is at the root of Kremlin Girl's constant ad hominem dismissal of citations. She can't dispute a word of what's presented
in the text, so instead she just smears the source as being "leftist."
They aren't of course, even if editorially they are moderately left
of center. She can't identify a single piece of reporting that any of
those sources has *ever* got wrong and had to retract.
And this is what's going on with all right-wingnut claims of "fake
news." The news is *not* fake — it just displeases them for ideological reasons. Trump and Bannon and Trump's feckless pups *did*
collude with Russia leading up to the 2016 election, and Mueller and
the Senate intelligence committee *said* as much. It's just that the collusion was not statutorily criminal. It *should* be seen as a
political crime, though.

That's introspection. You're questioning "Kremlin Girl's" ownership
of you and some of your fan gurls.
