It’s easy to spot liberal media bias in 2026. Heck, we’re soaking in it.
Most headlines all but scream it, skewering Republicans and giving Democrats a pass.
There’s even a popular meme on the subject. When progressives behave badly, the media will frame the story as “Republicans pounce/and or seize.”
You can set your clock to it.

Perhaps the biggest example of extreme media bias came all the way back in 2017.

The Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va. featured a group of tiki torch bearing bigots screaming, “they will not replace us.” The gathering also involved a controversial statue of Robert E. Lee that some wanted to pull down for good.
It was ugly, full stop. And, as we recently learned, it may have been partially fueled by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Either way, President Donald Trump spoke about the event after a protester hit and killed a woman with his car.
Trump said there were “very fine people on both sides” of the debate. That meant those who gathered to remove a controversial statue or to keep it standing for historical reasons.
He didn’t mean the neo Nazis who slithered around the protests, spreading hate in their wake. How do we know that? Because he literally said so.
“And I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the White Supremacists, who should be condemned totally.”
Yet the media and many Democrats (but we repeat ourselves) insisted Trump meant the neo Nazis were “very fine people.”
A media hoax unlike any other was born. And boy, did it have legs. Future President Joe Biden used the lie to launch his 2020 campaign.
It took the progressive Snopes seven years to set the record straight on the matter. Seven. Years.
Snopes FINALLY debunked the 2017 “Very Fine People” hoax, and HOO BOY are the leftists madhttps://t.co/NiVbr7Q3W7

Better insanely late than never. Gee, why would Snopes drag its feet on this particular fact check?
Either way, anyone with a healthy news diet knows it’s a lie, and a despicable one at that.
Does that explain why Colbert repeated it … LAST YEAR?
“For the record, Trump did not come up with ‘America first.’ ‘America first’ was the motto of Nazi-friendly Americans in the 1930s … Trump wasn’t Nazi-friendly until 2017,” Colbert said, before mimicking the president’s voice saying, you guessed it, “very fine people.”
No lie is too big, apparently, for the far-Left host. It’s one more reason Colbert won’t be missed on late-night TV.
