re: How do liberals want Trump to react to the lies by the MSM?

Do I want to regulate them more heavily? No. I just don't view the lies as acceptable. Also, I can't argue with anyone who believes that dishonest reporting is just a part of it and is acceptable. And as for the koi fish and hat throwing incidents, if they can't be honest about such trivial matters, why should I trust them in regards to anything else?

The premise of this thread is whether or not Trump is justified in his response to the MSM. I have argued that he should be held to a higher standard than the MSM. I have never implied I agree with, like, or trust the MSM. I have stated the exact opposite.

And you have yet to prove any actual lies that are damaging to our democracy. Nitpicking small things that are not widely reported is not evidence of abundant "untruths" being reported by the MSM. It's just biased journalism, which is protected by the Constitution. This isn't China or North Korea.

News agencies can report whatever they want for the most part. If these things turn out to be untrue, lthen their credibility should suffer and viewership should go down, per free market principles. Personally, I think the media should be more regulated, but I'm guessing that is not a popular opinion on this forum.

The fact that no one here can state any completely and unequivocally false information widely reported by the MSM is evidence that the reporting is more biaed than "untrue."
