2020 Presidential

As 2020 comes to a close, NewsBusters is recounting the most obnoxious liberal bias of the year. In today’s installment, we present the most outrageous examples of journalists fawning over their liberal heroes and left-wing icons.

Like they always do with any unverified negative report about President Trump, CNN is automatically assuming that the New York Time’s claim that Trump considered installing martial law is completely true and is using it to bash him. 

On Jonathan Capehart's MSNBC show, even as guest Brittney Cooper agreed with Mitt Romney that Trump will not invoke martial law or take other measures, she still mocked Mitt, saying: "it must be so nice to be a white man in America today, to have this sort of certainty." 

Journalists in the media have done their very best to ignore major scandals involving Andrew Cuomo, Hunter Biden, Eric Swalwell and other powerful Democrats. This isn’t just a liberal press. It’s DNC TV. 

The absurd Big Brother micromanagement by social media of postings by individuals can be seen reflected in the recent labeling as "false" by Instagram of a post linking  Joe Biden's 1994 crime bill to mass incarceration.

On Thursday's The 11th Hour, MSNBC host Brian Williams welcomed disgruntled ex-Republican Rick Wilson -- who finally admitted in the same segment that he's no longer a Republican --  as the MSNBC host marked the one-year anniversary of Wilson and other disaffected and former Republicans forming the Lincoln Project to attack the GOP during the presidential election.

On Tuesday's Amanpour and Co. on PBS and CNN International, Walter Isaacson treated viewers of the taxpayer funded show to hyperbole as he likened Republican supporters of President Donald Trump to those who collaborated with Adolf Hitler during World War ii, deriding them as "quisling enablers of the undermining of democracy."

This, dear NewsBusters readers, is what counts as journalism from our liberal media in 2020. On Thursday night, CBS’s The Late Show host Stephen Colbert spent an hour fluffing the pillows of President-Elect Joe Biden and incoming First Lady Jill Biden. Whether it was defending Jill Biden’s doctorate in English, lamenting Hunter Biden being under federal investigation, nudging Biden…

On Wednesday's Morning Joe, MSNBC again demonstrated that it's the place that has no problem with having left-wing guests who have a history of using incendiary race rhetoric as "anti-racism" scholar Ibram X. Kendi appeared as a guest to discuss his recent column hitting the Democratic party from the far left. Just a few months ago, the allegedly "anti-racist" Kendi voiced opposition…

On Thursday, New York Times reporters Michael Shear and Thomas Kaplan disregarded their basic journalistic commitment to the facts, trumpeting former Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg as the “first openly gay cabinet member” on Thursday in “Biden Adds Buttigieg to His ‘Cabinet of Barrier-Breakers.’” The Times is going to great lengths to pretend this barrier…

It isn't that the alleged exploits, profits, and questionable business deals involving Hunter Biden and his father, Joe Biden, were not known for most of this election year. Much of mainstream media either ignored it or put it down as right-wing extremism. Until now. We've recently learned that the U.S. Attorney's Office in Delaware is investigating Hunter Biden's tax affairs, and has been…

Joe Scarborough goes on one of his patented rants against Rand Paul, accusing him 17 times of "lying" or being a "liar." At the end of his rant, Scarborough bemoans the fact that senators can't be "sanctioned" for lying. 

In a fawning profile of NBC News anchors Savannah Guthrie and Kristen Welker published on Thursday, Vogue magazine laughably hailed the pair as “pillars of the fourth estate” who were “determined to hold leaders of both parties to account.” Guthrie’s Trump-trashing townhall ahead of the election and Welker’s slanted moderation of the second presidential debate were cheered as examples…

It could be his dream gig!  It certainly would match his core competencies: kowtowing to Chinese communists. Former Disney CEO and current Disney Executive chairman Bob Iger is up for the post as U.S. ambassador to China.
