2020 media scandals and controversies

[Counselor706]

The mainstream media saw an onslaught of scandals and controversies in 2020, ranging from Chris Cuomo’s coronavirus hypocrisy to blatant censorship of the ongoing Hunter Biden scandal.

NBC News shed a controversial chairman, CNN’s Jake Tapper was accused of attempting to meddle in an election and C-SPAN’s Steve Scully admitted he lied about his Twitter account being hacked. The New York Times returned a coveted award as the paper’s credibility crumbled, Twitter feuded with the New York Post and CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin even had a hand in the bizarre year for liberal media.

Whoopi Goldberg accidently floated Dr. Jill Biden for Surgeon General, despite her doctorate being in education, The Washington Post published a glowing feature on China’s Communist Party, CNN settled a multimillion-dollar defamation lawsuit filed by Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann, former media darling Michael Avenatti was convicted of extortion, and the killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani was condemned by some American reporters in a wild, jam-packed news year.

Without further ado, here are some of the biggest media scandals and controversies from 2020.

The largest scandal of the year...

The largest scandal was actually committed by CNN. For security reasons I don't feel it would be safe to go into detail but during the year one of their "reporters" accidently said something that was true. It was just a 'one time' mistake and they were quick with a retraction. Nevertheless, I am sure that someone's bacon got toasted for that one.
