I'm not saying you're wrong, but we may need another example since Fox successfully got a case dismissed under the specific premise that "no 'reasonable viewer' takes the primetime host Tucker Carlson seriously"

Which is specifically why I linked to CNN calling trump a liar with no ensuing lawsuit. That's your other example.

You can google and find a bunch of other examples of media outlets freely calling politicians liars.
