To hear the media spin it, the rioting and looting that took place around the country these past few weeks was a Boston Tea Party-like response to the years Donald Trump and the GOP’s fanning the “flames” of “racial hatred.” The following are the Top 15 worst outbursts by liberal hosts and reporters during their coverage of the George Floyd protests and subsequent riots: 

Just as with their cable counterparts, the evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC refused to give airtime to the revelation that a lauded scientific study, purporting to show anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine was ineffective and deadly…

Such was the case on May 22 when CNN shows spent 90 minutes and 54 seconds heralding a now-debunked study that originally claimed taking hydroxychloroquine while battling COVID-19 could be fatal.

So anyone who relied on them for their news was probably shocked when on May 7 the case was suddenly dropped. 

Self-ordained “facts first” cable network CNN took more than a month to cover the sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden by former Senate staffer Tara Reade. But two years ago, during the confirmation process of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, CNN was quick to float the vague claims of anonymous Democratic staffers, reporting on the supposed existence of an accuser two days before…
