The liberal media bias against Trump is easy to see. Throughout the 2020 presidential campaign, Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden were treated as differently as night and day by the liberal media. Donald Trump was given tough questions and faced direct blame for any issues dividing the country. Meanwhile, Joe Biden was allowed to hide in his basement, avoid reporters, and put a lid on his campaign for days at a time and the media didn’t blink an eye.
America has seen the media staunch bias towards Republicans for years, especially since Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016. Since taking office media has continuously attacked Trump on baseless claims of Russian election interference and even dragged him into a failed impeachment trial.
The media welcomed Clinton’s baseless claims of Russian election interference, quickly spinning the false claims as truth. But now that Trump has made similar claims of domestic election interference media outlets are doing anything and everything to censor Trump. Twitter has begun flagging any of Trump’s tweets regarding the election.
President Trump replied to a tweet saying, “People will not accept this Rigged Election!” and Twitter flagged the post with the marker “this claim about election fraud is disputed.”
People will not accept this Rigged Election! https://t.co/XQAOIt5ZwU

Twitter has also censored a series of Trump’s tweets. His posts were not immediately visible to followers and were hidden by the message, “Some or all of the content in this Tweet is disputed and may be misleading about an election or other civic process.” To view the message users must click “view” to the right of the post.
People were screaming STOP THE COUNT & WE DEMAND TRANSPARENCY (As Legal Observers were refused admittance to count rooms)! https://t.co/CW1tivI45c

Tens of thousands of votes were illegally received after 8 P.M. on Tuesday, Election Day, totally and easily changing the results in Pennsylvania and certain other razor thin states. As a separate matter, hundreds of thousands of Votes were illegally not allowed to be OBSERVED…

Hillary Clinton was given a completely different set of rules following the 2016 election. Immediately, Clinton began dispelling Trump’s win and told the media-without any evidence- the election had been tampered with by Russians.
The Daily Wire writes:
But Clinton’s conspiracy theory took off in the mainstream media, which reported every jot and tittle of the made-up story as she repeatedly claimed the election had been “stolen.”
That ended up not being remotely true (saying it over and over doesn’t make it so — and Clinton has been telling anyone who would listen for the last four years that she was robbed by Vladimir Putin).
Trump was investigated for 675 days by special counsel Robert Mueller and a team of 19 lawyers. Despite 2,800 subpoenas and 500 witness interviews, the counsel’s office found no evidence “that any U.S. person or Trump campaign official or associate” conspired or “knowingly coordinated” with Russians during the 2016 campaign.
The media wholeheartedly supported Clinton’s baseless claims regarding election interference in 2016 but four years later when the threat of election fraud is real, the media refuses to support the claims.
