> For 5 years now they are trying their best to make Trump and his supporters into bigger idiots than they actually are.
Has it occurred to you that perhaps Trump, his brand of populism and his supporters are worthy of that caricature?
> Why was the Russia election collusion story in the spotlight for years despite flimsy evidence?
The only people who think that the evidence was flimsy are those willing to ignore the fact that there was a level of obstruction from the administration that would make Nixon blush.
> Why are Trump supporters on the other hand not allowed even a few weeks to investigate their doubts about this election without being ridiculed for doing so?
My guess: because this is playing with fire. You might not be privy to it, but the calls for violence in their various echochambers if the crapshoot for overturning the election doesn't pan out(hint: it won't) are reaching audiences well armed and with nothing better to do than to engage in stochastic terrorism.

No it hasn’t. The news shouldn’t be caricaturizing anyone. The reporting should be as faithful to reality as possible.

So because there exist some extremists with a particular viewpoint, nobody else should be allowed to entertain that viewpoint?
Funny because on the other side of the political spectrum there actually just recently were extremists that were not just hypothetical and they did actually go out and commit violence in order to “make their voices heard” and their viewpoint was not condemned by the media at all for doing so.
