They are a problem!

CNN, MSNBC, FOX, and friends produce tons of misinformation.

Part of this hiding of dislikes boils down to attempts to establish these and other sources as authoritative, and qualified to judge what is misinformation and what is not.

A lot of perfectly valid, informative dissent is being lumped in as disinformation, and it's not easy to differentiate. Said dissent often focuses on basic issues impacting many ordinary Americans, or more generally labor.

The authoritative sources, as defined by other authorities, all of whom are economically elite, simply do not produce information from the labor point of view. That same point of view has almost no meaningful representation in Congress due to how money in politics works right now too.

I do agree with you on calling out a different wing being unproductive.
