The American media has always oriented itself decidedly to the left, but the Trump years have really torn away their mask. Most people in the media don’t even try to pretend to be objective anymore. They openly behave like democratic activists.
When they talk about Trump, which everyone loves to do, their mistakes are numerous and always point in one direction.
Sharyl Attkisson, who is one of the few good journalists around, recently wrote a report on this issue.

Here at Full Measure, we’ve documented the media’s particularly harsh treatment of Trump since he first declared his run for the White House, including an explosion in the trend of fake news from previously respected national outlets . We also monitored media blunders under the Biden presidency to see if he would fall victim to the same syndrome.
In other words, is the media making an unprecedented number of sloppy but innocent mistakes, or is their behavior part of a calculated strategy? Today’s cover story: what the album shows.
When President Biden spent last Christmas on a family vacation, he continued the longest streak in two decades of a U.S. president not visiting troops during the holidays. But there was no press criticism as there had been of his predecessor, President Trump. With Trump, the media was eager to spread negative headlines, even when false.
In 2018, NBC incorrectly reported that Trump would stay home over Christmas, the first US president since 2002 not to visit the troops. The news went global. But it wasn’t true. The media had rushed the departure. Trump and First Lady Melania left the White House on Christmas Day to visit American soldiers in Iraq.
On Thanksgiving, Newsweek made a similar mistake, falsely reporting that Trump was spending the holiday “playing golf” at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. But the journalist had invented the golf story. Trump flew to Afghanistan on Thanksgiving to be with the troops again, making Trump the only president in U.S. history to visit troops in a combat zone both on Thanksgiving and around Christmas — although the press never talked about it.
There’s so much more, and you can watch it all below:
Our media cannot be fixed. It is populated overwhelmingly by liberal activists who think their job is to take down Trump. None of this will change until more of these people are replaced by real journalists.
