The American media has always leaned decidedly left but the Trump years truly ripped off their mask. Most people in media no longer even try to pretend to be objective. They openly act like Democrat activists.
When reporting on Trump, which they all love to do, their mistakes are numerous and always go in only one direction.
Sharyl Attkisson, who is one of the few good journalists out there, recently did a report on this problem.

Here at Full Measure, we’ve documented the media’s uniquely harsh treatment of Trump since he first declared his run for the White House, including an explosion in the trend of false reporting by formerly well-respected national news outlets. We’ve also been tracking media mistakes under the Biden presidency to see if he’d fall victim to the same syndrome.
In other words, is the media making an unprecedented number of sloppy but innocent errors, or is their behavior part of a calculated strategy? Today’s cover story: what the record shows.
When President Biden spent last Christmas on vacation with family, he continued the longest string in two decades of a U.S. president not visiting the troops during the holiday. But there was no criticism in the press like there had been of his predecessor, President Trump. With Trump, the media was eager to blare negative headlines, even when false.
In 2018, NBC incorrectly reported that Trump stayed home at Christmastime, the first U.S. president since 2002 to skip visiting the troops. The news went global. But it wasn’t true. The media had jumped the gun. Trump and First Lady Melania left the White House Christmas Day to visit U.S. soldiers in Iraq.
On Thanksgiving, Newsweek made a similar error, falsely reporting that Trump was spending the holiday “golfing” at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. But the reporter had fabricated the golf story. Trump flew to Afghanistan on Thanksgiving to again be with the troops, making Trump the only president in U.S. history to visit troops in a combat zone both on Thanksgiving and so close to Christmas — though the press never reported that.

“The Federalist” editor-in-chief Mollie Hemingway comments on how hatred from te political class is a feature, not a bug, of the Trump campaign, during FNC’s “Media Buzz.”
HOWARD KURTZ, FOX NEWS: How does a man who many Republican leaders castigated after the events of January 6th, was condemned by the media, and — how does he bounce back to the point where he not only is winning the nomination, virtually has it won, but is clobbering everybody else who is in the field?
MOLLIE HEMINGWAY: Hatred of Donald Trump by the media and even by the Republican establishment has always been something of a feature, not a bug for Donald Trump.
So the fact that people feel that way about him does not hurt him with the American voters.
Americans do very much feel like the country is broken. They look around and see the border is broken, foreign policy is broken, the economy is broken, the crime in American cities is broken. When they look out at the political landscape, they see a lot of status quo and that could be Joe Biden or Nikki Haley, but they see very few people who are looking at tackling these issues in a different manner. And they already saw how he handled these things differently in his first term.
