Take a step back and think about what you are saying.It doesn't really matter how many of the reporters skew center-left (and to be frank, it's not as many as you probably think it is as a lot of reporters people think are on the 'left' or 'center' quite frankly are not), but it's really the people who own and operate those networks and papers that matter. It's naive to think that, say, the fact that Jeff Bezos fully owns The Washington Post has no impact on the paper even if he and they claim he's hands off. The previous President or CEO or whatever you want to call him of CNN (Zucker I believe) helped transform the network by saying how he liked to have a bunch of people with opposing views biting at one another because he took it gave it a reality TV feel because it came off like a dysfunctional family and the network has constantly courted right wing reporters and pundits in hopes of getting Fox News audience.
"Big coincidence" and "conspiracy theory" in square quotes? Telling posters that they're asleep? This is 100% not one iota different than the tone of the worst Trump-infested shit holes I've perused.
Our media is made up of tens of thousands of individual reporters. The vast majority of those reporters skew center-left. If there was some top down edict to across the board to bolster Trump, we'd have reporting on it like we've seen with Sinclair and the NYT.
I admit that people are pretty misinformed about who a lot of them people are and such, but pointing out the obvious bias in the media is not the same as going to Trump-infested shit holes. And you can still be critical of Biden the candidate for all his issues and still also recognize that the media clearly is pushing for a Trump victory in November
