Hypocritical liberal ideologues but lying

"Blasting the media is a tantrum or smokescreen, perhaps both. Either way it is straight from the Trump playbook, though in this case the media are not lying, hypocritical liberal ideologues but lying, hypocritical shills for Tesla’s fossil fuel rivals."

(The Guardian.)

Do I understand it correctly, in the paragraph above, that 'in this case [journalistic criticism of Elon Musk]' media are not lying although its reports (coverage of Mr Musk activity) are made by hypocritical liberal ideologues and hypocritical shills for Tesla's rivals?

No. It says in this case the media are liars but of a different kind. In this case, they are lying, hypocritical accomplices of fossil fuel companies (Tesla's rivals) .
