In case you were wondering what an awful, terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad job our mainstream media have done covering news for the last several years, look no further than this tweet Brit Hume shared from Andrew Sullivan:
2016 election. Rittenhouse. Covington. Russian collusion. Vaccines. Bounties on US soldiers. Lab-leak theory. Jussie Smollett. The Pulse shooting. The Atlanta shootings. Hunter Biden laptop. Inflation. Steele Dossier.
The MSM got every single one wrong.https://t.co/U5YJUtFQOD

Wow, right?
And in sharing Sullivan’s piece, Brit pointed out a few other stories they totally hosed.
Major media missed them all, not to mention UVa fraternity rape, "Hands-up don't shoot," Michael Avenatti, Brian Sicknick fire extinguisher, border crisis. https://t.co/NshIBdjWdz

If people in another field screwed up this badly they’d be fired.
Seriously.
You can see why the only group that has a lower approval rating than our media is Congress and THAT’S close. Especially as Biden’s numbers keep falling but that’s another story.
You forgot 8 years of Barack Obama

NASCAR Noose was another.

Is it considered a miss when it's done intentionally…
— Tony Jones (@wajones99) November 13, 2021
Good point.
Because they want to. As you of course know it is intentional.

It’s almost like they’re trying to invent a narrative, for every story, for us rubes. 🤔

They’re activists, not journalists.
But you all knew that.
2020 summer riots and Charlottesville “good people on both sides”

Might be easier to come up with stories they got right, since there are so few?
Heh.
