The American media were not always utterly biased. Decades ago, most reporters aimed for objectivity. Unfortunately, in the last fifty years, the media have increasingly become tools of the Democratic Party.
In the early 1970’s, the mainstream media worked feverishly to destroy President Richard Nixon and succeeded in forcing him to resign. In the 1980’s, President Ronald Reagan was the subject of constant media harassment. The media seized upon the Iran-Contra story and turned it into another scandal like Watergate. Reagan survived the witch hunt, but it took a toll on his approval ratings, at least in the short term.

The good news is that half the population no longer believes anything the Soviet American media spouts.
A huge problem for the MSM that they knew about Biden’s mental decline, yet aided and abetted,
hoodwinked and gaslighted Americans into thinking Joe Biden wasn’t a vegetable.
Police recordings now confirm Biden’s recent neurological medical emergency in Las Vegas.

Biden’s mental decline and expose who (besides drjill) was conning the public.

Such as it is, however, the press has become the greatest power within the Western countries - Aleksandr Sozhenitsyn

"To your request of my opinion of the manner in which a newspaper should be conducted, so as to be most useful, I should answer, 'by restraining it to true facts & sound principles only.' Yet I fear such a paper would find few subscribers. It is a melancholy truth, that a suppression of the press could not more compleatly deprive the nation of it’s [sic] benefits, than is done by it’s [sic] abandoned prostitution to falsehood. Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day."
- Thomas Jefferson to John Norvell, June 14, 1807 letter.
Clinton, Obama, and Biden would never have been elected without the massive media bias.
TRUE; Thanks for the post.
Correct.
Election interference is exactly what the mass media does.
Once in office, all three were shielded by the media, even though all three were embroiled in scandals far worse than Watergate.
Don’t be so sure.

The BAD news is that half the population still believes anything the Soviet American media spouts.

I'm only 74, so I don't remember that far back.
Evidence that your paraphrase is accurate: the first to call for Biden to drop out was the New York Times. The orders were received.
