From the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic to the riots to the 2020 election, the left-leaning legacy media has twisted, subverted, and outright suppressed the news it is supposedly tasked with reporting. It is impossible to cover every instance of media bias against President Donald Trump, for Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., or propping up the far-Left’s increasingly stifling orthodoxy, but I have compiled what I believe to be the ten most egregious examples from 2020.
Enjoy, and weep for the objectivity of the free press.
10. The death of Soleimani
At the outset of the annus horribilis of 2020, President Donald Trump ordered an airstrike that killed Iranian Quds Force General Qassem Soleimani after Iran-backed militias attacked the U.S. Embassy in Iraq.

Both outlets, among others, have also been the target of an ongoing purge of conservative media from the site, while CNN has been protected.
To tens of millions of
normal Americans, 2020 has been a year that can’t end soon enough. To the Trump Derangement Syndrome-riddled “mainstream” media, 2020 was a gift on a silver Trump-bashing platter. From COVID to “peaceful protests” to back to COVID, in the bitter eyes of the liberal media sock puppets, 2020 has been the gift that’s kept on giving.
Thankfully, the folks over at NewsBusters have been revisiting some of the liberal media’s “finest performances” of 2020 for our viewing “pleasure.” And what better place to start than with our old MSNBC pal, “Tingles”…

All this week, NewsBusters is recounting the most obnoxious liberal bias of 2020.
Yesterday, we presented the most outrageous examples of journalists fawning over liberal or left-wing icons; today’s installment showcases some of the year’s most horrendous examples of the media exploiting the pandemic to score political points against Republicans.
In 2020 the media sickeningly blamed Donald Trump and Republicans for exacerbating the virus with the likes of NBC’s Chuck Todd and MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell charging that the President has
“blood” on his hands. MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough blustered:
“Trump says he didn’t want Americans to panic.
