Finding someone using the GOP talking points to mislead the public is easy.
All you gotta do is find the explanations that lack any evidence but are heavy with emotion (they will often use words like "gut feeling" to pretend to have some sort of intuition about the info they are about to plant i.e. it's not a reporter's job to talk about their "gut feeling" on anything, as soon as they do they are not even pretending to report news anymore). Emotional manipulation while ignoring the context is the GOP's whole strategy.
All you have to do to make sure this person is misled or has malicious intent is to make them aware of the facts and see how they react. A plant will never move towards truth as that's not their job. They will either go silent till the next talking point emerges or will try to dissuade you from the facts and on to their side.

The Fox News/GOP method of "news"Called "truthiness" by some...
If truthinews were around in the past, people could have seen great headlines like "Dewey Defeats Truman? You Tell Us!" and "63% Believe Titanic Still Unsinkable." (03:42)
Rick Santorum demonstrates how this strategy works...
Rick Santorum Speaks from His "Heart" i.e. says whatever comes into his head as if it was true but it isn't - as usual as of sep 14 2014 - California Colleges Rick Santorum criticizes California universities after reading something from the state of California. (03:58):
If a child makes a decision on his or her feelings the first day they ever attend school (or even throughout thier school life) and the question is "do I want to go to school" the answer will be "no" even if that activity is good for them i.e. going to school to get an education. It's why we raise our kids to do stuff that doesn't feel immediately good so they can have a better life in the long run. If the evidence says one thing but another way feels better for whatever non-factual reason, we teach our kids to follow the evidence. Some kids don't get that sort of help and spend thier lives lying and using thier feelings to make decision especially if being popular amongst certain people is part of the decision making process .
GOP "Conservatives" make decisions with their feelings irrespective of the facts if that feels better to the particular individual saying them (and truth is often hard to swallow thus the edifice of lies the GOP is compelled to create everyday grows and grows without end. All you have to do is wait and they will embed themselves deep in a bed of lies as if they have an assassination squad to silence dissent and facts). The people listening just think its truthful because it's a news channel (that's the power of hearing lies from an "accredited" news source).

Pointers On Finding Fake Reporters But First Lets Get One Fact Out Of The Way...
TAKEWAY: The news media DOES influence public opinion and the people in the media know this. Obviously the source where people get their information from will influence their opinions, thus the media DOES have the ability to mislead the public... all it has to do is misreport the news, lie about the news, make up facts or simply leave out facts that would help people make better decisions.
Thus for someone wishing to mislead the American People, owning as much of the media as possible to create echo chambers is very important indeed. That said I'm sure Obama has made some mistakes but I don't think any of them have been covered by the mainstream media as they can all be traced to policies signed into law by Bush or Reagan.

List of obvious conservatives (or conservative plants/lap-dogs) in the media labeled as "Liberal" that I've found so far;
Chuck was one of the people who pretended to be a reporter and misreported the facts, so he can obviously be put in the GOP category;
Another guy on the MSNBC who is obviously a GOP "conservative" posing as a liberal to help the GOP is Joe of Morning Joe;
Note: For some reason the feelings of a Governor matters more than his actions. Certainly not a fair and balanced show as they are not holding - nor do they want to - hold someone with power and money held accountable for tier crimes. It;s more like a high school type atmosphere... always trying to kiss up to the top dogs to get to a higher point in the popularity ratings.
In any case, this would be enough except for the fortunate coincidence of catching Joe in the act when he started echoing GOP talking points (as "conservatives" in th e media tend to do) but in this case it was a mistake so we have double proof - besides years of his morning shows where he shows his allegience pretty obviously - of Joe rant non-factual information as news when attacking Obama.

Daily Show Summary: Cover-Up in the Air - What Would Reagan Do?
The "conservative non-fact based echo chamber begins it's job spreading mis-information to help slander Obama & reduce his ratings...
Slandering Obama continues from one "reporter" to another...
On and on and on it goes...
... and here is Joe parroting the lies started by the GOP "conservatives" in their echo chamber. This is how Obama's rating is lowered by the GOP using the media. It's no big secret. Many people already know of these sorts of echo chambers.
IN reality it took four days for Reagan to respond, this fact came out accidentally not that GOP "conservatives" care if they are caught lying, they just switch to another lie and keep repeating it across it's membership as usual. Here is the accidental expose...
