Politicians have been lying since the origin of politics. The modern press’ penchant for shouting liar every time a politician they don’t like speaks is juvenile and patronizing to the audience.

Why not both? The media is full of liars, yes - two words "Daily Mail" or "Fox News" if you are American.
