Montage: The 20 Most Mortifying Media Moments of 2020
[Grabien] In the year everything went to sh*t, America's media was already positioned for action. Rather than riding athwart the troubled waters of America in 2020, offering a beacon of accurate, intrepidly researched reporting to help guide the country, the biggest names in media time and again chose instead to abuse their positions, advancing narrow political interests in lieu of valuable, fact-checked information.

If there’s a theme to this year’s edition, it’s the mainstreaming of gaslighting. Time and again news consumers were told that what they were seeing meant the opposite of what it clearly did (see, for example, #s 15 and 14).

Our normal custom with the Most Mortifying Media Moments series is to summarize the 10 worst moments of the year. But 2020 being 2020, this year we’re doubling it up so that we can hereby present … 2020’s 20 Most Mortifying Media Moments.
The explanations can be seen at the link, but here are the headings:
20 - Media Mourn Death of Iranian Terror Leader
19 - Media Pretend Impeachment Is Historically Historic History
18 - Mara Gay & Brian Williams Can’t Math
17 - Media Downplay Covid
16 - Media Overhype Covid
15 - Peaceful Protests = Violent
14 - Violent Protests = Peaceful
13 - Bubba’s ‘Noose’
12 - The Worst Broadcasting Blooper Ever
11 - Media: Trump Will Use the Military to Steal the Election
10 - Media: Let's Topple Mt. Rushmore
9 - Chris Matthews: All Blacks Look Alike
8 - Chris Cuomo
7 - Mika Meltdown
6 - A USPS Conspiracy So Vast …
5 - Media: Why Do We Need this So Called Constitution Anyway?
4 - Biden Bus B.S.
3 - Media Drag Biden Across the Finish Line

#1 Anyone remember the Iraqi Information Minister? The media is going full Baghdad Bob with its "There is no evidence of election fraud!" statements.
