I wonder if there's any left-winged media that bashes Trump. That would be unheard of -- left journalist have ethics and would do no such thing.

New powers that the SC ruled were perfectly legally... those new powers?

Check out this outright LIE by Leftists in media:
“BREAKING: President Trump, who has for weeks made exaggerated and inaccurate claims about mail-in voting, made his clearest argument to date that he opposes making a deal with Democrats to fund the Postal Service because it would strengthen access to mail ballots ahead of the election.
"Now, if we don't make a deal that means they don't get the money. That means they can't have universal mail-in voting," the president said. "They just can't have it."
1. The issues with mail in voting are not exaggerated nor are they inaccurate, they are real.

https://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/07/us/politics/as-more-vote-by-mail-faulty-ballots-could-impact-elections.html
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-19-vote-by-mail-ballot-counted-election/
2. Trumps statement that a lack of a deal means no USPS vote by mail services is a push to get the deal done - not a reasoning to oppose it.
Trump never claims to oppose the deal to prevent voting by mail. What he is stating is if Democrats refuse to bargain with Republicans and hash out a deal, they’ll hurt their own objective which includes mail-in ballots.
TH purposely and falsely claims this is proof he is obstructing and opposing the deal to prevent open elections via mail and they will also claim this is a suppression of votes. They’re outright lying.
This is why no one trusts the media.

if anyone is into the taste of tears:
Were the fans not booing to to take a stand for what THEY believe in??? See how that works, baby?
“I think it was absolutely disgusting,” FC Dallas defender Reggie Cannon said after the match. “You’ve got fans booing you for people taking a stand for what they believe in.”

in case you only get your "news" from CNN, here's a real story:
BREAKING NEWS: FORMER FBI OFFICIAL WILL PLEAD GUILTY TO FALSIFYING FISA DOCUMENTS IN THE RUSSIA INVESTIGATION\
by Kevin Ryan
Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith will plead guilty to making false statements in the first criminal case arising from U.S. Attorney John Durham's review of the origins and conduct of the Russia investigation, Clinesmith's attorney says.
Clinesmith, who was assigned to the Russia investigation, plans to admit that he altered an email from the C.I.A. that investigators relied on to seek renewed court permission in 2017 for a secret wiretap on the former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
He is expected to admit that he doctored the email so it said that former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page was not a source for the CIA, even though Page had had a relationship with the agency. The FBI did not disclose Page’s relationship with the CIA as it applied to renew a warrant to monitor him as a possible agent of a foreign power. The application was approved.
Developing story…
