Well Obama's FBI let Hillary's "team" check her server for classified data instead of seizing it. They didn't take possession until Hillary had weeks to scrub the server.

Yet, they send the FBI in full battle rattle to Roger Stone's house in the dead of night with helicopters overhead and perp walk him out of the house.

The same people have always controlled it. They’re just not as crafty as they used to be.

It was never an honest profession

The media has always marched in lock step. I once, in my youth, wondered how all News sources chose the same topics as key new stories. ABC, CBS, and NBC all covered the same story with the same point of view.
Then Al Gore invented the internet. Opposing views were exposed.
Bet Al wishes he hadn't been so inventive.

Even taking away the extreme left leaning skew, it’s all just so toxic and divisive. It portrays the majority of good Americans in negative lights (always highlighting the worst stories, the “racist” stories, the “bigots”, etc.) and rarely focuses on what makes us great.

Bingo. I don't blame her a bit. It's upsetting for her to constantly see coverage painting America as this horribly racist place, when that's never been the case under our roof in particular, or with any of the racially mixed families we know and interact with regularly. Just no need and no place for that kind of negativity.

Even in this current “crisis”, would it be so hard for the media to positively show just how well America has done with this pandemic? So any people came together to stay home, work from home, shut down businesses, etc. to flatten the curve. Instead of focusing on the huge, vast positives they spend all of their time in the fringe negatives and just beat viewers over the head with it.

Again, bingo. SO many people have stepped up, not just in our community, but across the nation. Yet we rarely hear those stories. Just divisiveness and agenda-pushing 24/7. It's disingenuous and exhausting, especially for people like my wife who don't give much of a damn about political agendas during the BEST of times, much less right now.

Yep. And I'm speaking as someone who grew up with the highest regard for the press, and even considered a career in journalism. It breaks my heart to see what journalism has become

Being former Filth, I was one of those people who mocked righties in the mid to late 90s that would claim the MSM was biased. I knew it then, but part of winning was denying it.

I remember when the Vermin here did the same thing. Now they just openly admit it, and mock Faux news.
