Last week, in her MSNBC show, Deadline, Nicolle Wallace said "right wing media" like Fox are creating an "alternate reality" for their viewers. Wallace said, "You now have a true, a true alternate reality[.] ... I mean, they are pumping flagrant lies into millions of viewers. They're interviewing lunatics." Wallace's guest, Al Sharpton (of Tawana Brawley hoax fame), said, "We're now in a nation where facts don't matter. You make up facts. And not only do you have an alternative reality — how do you debate someone that is dealing with a totally fictitious premise?"
This talk of the alternate, fictional reality inhabited by Trump-supporters has been expressed many times by those on the left. After the Nunes memo was released, exposing parts of the Russia Hoax, CNN's Brian Stelter said Sean Hannity was promoting the Nunes lies, and he called the story an "alternate reality." Stelter's viewers knew that Trump had colluded with Russia, just as Adam Schiff said. Stelter was proud that his viewers knew the truth.
Regarding the current claims of possible election fraud, Stelter said, "This is not an alternative reality. This is a parallel universe of disinformation." Other reporters have added that Fox is "presenting you with absolute utter lies and nonsense and conspiracy theories. ... These viewers slash victims are not able to differentiate between fantasy and reality. That's dangerous."

In the list below, "T" indicates the certainly "True Things," as reported by the wise people in leftist media. "D" indicates the "Delusions" held by the Trump-supporters, who "are not able to differentiate between fantasy and reality."
