You’re applying a very strange logic here — that these are mutually exclusive phenomena. They aren’t. Drive that notion through that concrete skull of yours and we’ll be able to conduct a useful conversation on this issue. (Or at least an amusing one.)

For like the seventh or eighth time, I have never, ever suggested there is no media bias against Trump. Drive that notion through that concrete skull of yours and maybe we’ll be able to conduct a useful conversation on this issue. Moreover, I have never, ever suggested that Trump's being a liar precludes other biases. If you want to play Krugman, you're going to need to up your game considerably.
What I am saying, here, specifically, is that there is no sign of bias against Trump in that particular article.
Indeed, there is a sign of a different sort of media bias that favors Trump, and which he regularly exploits, which is that media assumes that he is not lying, in the face of constant evidence to the contrary, and relays statements that the White House is acting in good faith even though it's impossible to establish that. You keep ignoring this bias, but I would say it's far more important than any political bias on the part of any individual reporter.
